PHOENIX—Groundbreaking day has arrived for the first phase of Airport I-10, a Wentworth Property Company/Clarion Partners Class A industrial project being leased by the Phoenix office of JLL that, at completion, will represent one of the largest Sky Harbor Airport-area speculative industrial developments in Phoenix history.

Located at the northwest corner of 24^th Street and Rio Salado, Phase I of Airport I-10 Business Park includes three Class A industrial buildings totalling more than 600,000 square feet (277,954 square feet, 169,109 square feet and 156,000 square feet). Phase I of the project is slated for completion in the fall of 2014. At build-out, the 58-acre site will comprise five Class A industrial buildings totalling 920,584 square feet.

“This is the last large, developable parcel left in the Sky Harbor International Airport submarket—an area that consistently ranks among the Valley's top industrial locations,” says Wentworth Property Company principal James R. Wentworth. “Airport I-10 is already garnering great interest. With Phoenix's continued population and job growth, we expect this demand to do nothing but rise in the years ahead.”
