Cushman & Wakefield of Arizona, Inc. negotiated a long-term lease for the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) at Mesa Financial Plaza, 1201 S. Alma School Road.

The lease, for 46,401 square feet spanning 2 1/2 floors, is new operating office space for DCS. Mesa Financial Plaza, a 16-story high-rise office tower, was built in 1985.

“This tenant, combined with the three or four latest professional firms, will be a wonderful addition to Mesa Financial Plaza,” said Matt Nebeker, a Director with Cushman & Wakefield’s Office Properties group. “The building is a great location for a new tenant to rebrand it with its own signage as Bank of America prepares to vacate.”

Nebeker represented the landlord, Wilson Property Services of Phoenix.
