“Prescott Airpark industrial park is well positioned and easily accessible to major transportation hubs including Prescott Regional Airport which recently received a $10 million FAA Grant for construction of a new terminal. The property was 100 percent occupied by a mix of national and regional tenants. The property was built in 2000 and all of the tenants are on NNN leases, which is ideal for an out-of-state passive investor,” Gross commented.
