Conor Commercial Real Estate, a member of The McShane Companies, and joint venture partner, Globe Corporation, are pleased to announce the groundbreaking of Canal Crossing Logistics Center, a premier speculative industrial building located on a 10.1-acre land parcel near the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona.

The new 155,114 square foot facility will be situated at 5670 South 32nd Street, just south of the airport and within one mile of the full diamond interchange at Interstate 10 and 32nd Street. This central location allows for rapid and convenient access to all major freeways servicing greater Phoenix. Canal Crossing can accommodate tenants from 35,000 square feet to a 155,114 square foot full-building user and will be available for occupancy in February 2015.

Offering an efficient site plan and contemporary design, Canal Crossing Logistics Center will feature a rear-load configuration with 30’ clear height, 37 dock-high doors, two ground-level doors, 130’ all concrete truck court, 2,500 amp electrical service and an ESFR sprinkler system. Energy efficiency and operational cost savings will also be enhanced by the implementation of 50 4’x8’ skylights placed throughout the warehouse component of the facility.

“The groundbreaking of Canal Crossing Logistics Center is an exciting milestone for Conor Commercial Real Estate and our long-standing partner, Globe Corporation,” said Sean Cummings, Vice President of Conor Commercial Real Estate’s Phoenix office. “We are pleased to provide a contemporary, efficient and highly-functional industrial space near the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and are confident that the strong underlying fundamentals that this in-fill submarket currently offers will provide numerous advantages for industrial users now and in the future.”
