"We are excited to add these exceptional buildings to our portfolio," said Mark Bowen, Regional Vice President DCT Industrial. "Located in one of the highest-barrier-to-entry submarkets of Phoenix these high-quality buildings reflect DCT's continued effort to improve the quality our portfolio."
"These buildings are exceptional in that they combine outstanding functionality and full occupancy with a true Class A image in an infill location," said Detmer. "This includes access—within minutes—to many of the key amenities that a high-end industrial user might need: an extensive freeway network, international airport, deep labor pool and host of retail opportunities."
