Conn Appliances signed a 10-year lease for 277,649 SF at Trammell Crow Company’s Phase I of the Coldwater Depot Logistics Center in Avondale.
Trammell Crow Company, one of the nation’s largest commercial real estate developers and investors, and Clarion Partners, a real estate investment manager, announced the deal today.
“We are pleased to welcome Conn’s to Coldwater Depot Logistics Center, and we are confident this facility will provide them with the environment they need to serve existing and new customers throughout the Phoenix area,” said Jim Mahoney, Senior Managing Director with Trammell Crow Company’s Phoenix Business Unit.
“The growth and expansion of such a large electronics retailer will bring jobs and a renewed confidence in the Phoenix job and retail market.”

“Everyone involved has shown an unwavering commitment to the success of the project. The capital investment, construction jobs created during the building of the facility, and the new jobs that Conn’s brings to the area will add to the growing and sustainable economy in Avondale.”
