Commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield negotiated two headquarters leases in the North Phoenix and South Scottsdale.
HollyFrontier will house its Arizona Regional Headquarters at Desert Ridge Corporate Center and Tri-Continental Truck Brokerage, Inc. will have its corporate headquarters at Hayden Professional Park in Scottsdale.
Cushman & Wakefield Vice President Justin Himelstein represented both companies in the office lease negotiations. Gregg Kafka of Lee & Associates represented Regent Properties, owner of Desert Ridge Corporate Center Phase I and Kathleen Morgan of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank represented the 3200 Hayden Plaza LLC.
“Each of these clients wisely took advantage of current market conditions to strike lease rates in the early stages of pricing escalations,” Himelstein said. “HollyFrontier negotiated an early renewal in anticipation of higher rates at the time of its current lease expiration. Tri-Continental was able to find a relocation opportunity that provided a great fit for the company at a competitive price. During the post-recession economy, companies are increasingly sensitive to value and these firms understood how to maximize their position in the changing marketplace.”
