An affiliate of Cohen Asset Management, a premier private real estate investment firm headquartered in Southern California with regional offices in Phoenix, Arizona, Dallas, Texas and Northern New Jersey, acquired the Southeast Valley portfolio by phase (3, 4, 5) between January and June.

The IAG team was joined by Chairman Adam Spies and Vice Chair Marcella Fasulo of the firm’s NY Capital Markets team. CBRE’s Senior Vice President, Kevin Cosca, provided leasing advisory.

“A preferred location for high-tech, manufacturing, R&D and e-commerce users, The Landing is 89% leased to a strong, diversified tenant mix, and represents a trophy core asset and an extremely detailed industrial development,” said Will Strong. “Mesa’s strong market fundamentals, together with the project’s exceptional location, quality and financial profile, made this both a superior and rare investment opportunity in a sought-after submarket regionally and nationally. The steady sale of such a significant, high-profile portfolio over months speaks volumes to the consistent outlook of Phoenix’s industrial market.”
