SVN Desert Commercial Advisors completed the sale of an approximately 112-acre industrial site in Mesa at the southwest corner of Warner Rd. and Sossaman Rd. just north of the Mesa Gateway Airport. The property was acquired from Structures Investment LLC by an entity controlled by Contour Real Estate, a California-based real estate investment and development firm.
Contour plans to build a master planned industrial park encompassing eight buildings totaling over 1.5 million square feet (in two phases of development) targeting specialized manufacturing, logistics, and ecommerce tenants. The Mesa project is the largest of Contour’s three industrial projects underway in the Arizona market. The deal had been in escrow for twelve months as Contour worked through a rezone and PAD approval with the City of Mesa.
