PHOENIX — ViaWest Group and its institutional capital partner have received $35.5 million in construction financing for the ground-up construction of Converge Logistics Center, a three-building speculative logistics center located at 15175 S. 50th St. in Phoenix. Situated on 28.6 acres, Converge Logistics Center will feature approximately 500,000 square feet of Class A rentable industrial space. The individual buildings will range from 140,000 square feet to 210,000 square feet and may be leased to a single tenant or are divisible to 23,500 square feet for multi-tenant use. The buildings will feature 32-foot clear heights, a combination of dock-high and grade-level doors and office suites at the front. Construction on all three buildings began in January, with completion slated for fourth-quarter 2022. The borrowers control the lot through a ground lease with Kyrene Elementary School District. Mike Walker and Brad Zampa of CBRE Capital Markets’ Debt & Structured Finance group arranged the nonrecourse, floating-rate loan, which has a three-year term with two extension options. A regional bank headquartered in the southern United States provided the capital.
