Design-build firm LGE Design Build, in partnership with Clarius Partners, announced recently the completion of phase one of construction at Chandler Airpark Technology Center, a 26.29-acre industrial development located on the southwest corner of Gilbert and Ryan roads, with the second phase underway.

Designed by LGE Design Group, the first phase of the project broke ground in early 2021. The development features two buildings at 130,570 square feet and 97,130 square feet, with the latter featuring speculative suites and each building has 32-foot clear heights.

The first 13.79-acre lot is a Chandler planned area development zoning and includes grade-level and dock-high loading, ESFR sprinklers and 298 parking spaces.

The buildings feature enhanced architecture with concrete tilt panels and vertical trellis elements.

The second phase includes two additional buildings at 114,250 square feet and 88,750 square feet, each with 32-foot clear heights and speculative suites. The 12.5-acre lot will feature 262 parking spaces and is expected to be completed in November.

“Our team has nearly 30 years of experience building this type of product, which gives us the knowledge to be able to navigate the various moving parts efficiently and effectively throughout the design-build process,” said Grant Blunt, vice president of construction at LGE Design Build. “Our goal when we take on any project has always been to meet the needs of businesses looking to relocate to or expand within the Valley while creating a product that still complements the surrounding neighborhood.”

The project’s location provides accessibility to the Loop 202, I-10, U.S. 60 and Loop 101, as well as offers proximity to the Chandler Municipal Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

The development also has more than 40 restaurants and national retailers in less than a one-mile radius.
