Merit Partners Inc has completed construction on Merit 27 Buckeye, a two-building, 256.8k sf industrial infill redevelopment in Phoenix’s emerging 27th Avenue Corridor. The project, built by Phoenix-based general contractor Stevens-Leinweber Construction, is fully leased.

Located on 18 acres at the southeast corner of 27th Ave and Buckeye Rd, Merit 27 Buckeye transformed a former and vacant Murphy Elementary School District campus into a modern, industrial property within a re-emerging commercial area.
Merit 27 Buckeye spans two fully modernized buildings, a 191.3k sf Building A and a 65.6k sf Building B, at 1515 S. 27th Ave and 2675 W. Buckeye Rd. Building A fully leased to Daikin and Building B fully leased to Mazak, Reliable Garage Doors, Hajoca and Impilo Inc.
Meeting contemporary standards for efficiency, sustainability and tenant satisfaction, the buildings feature 32’ to 36’ clear height, 59 total dock-high and eight total drive-in doors, ESFR sprinklers, and generous and secure auto and truck parking. Energy-efficient features include LED lighting, R-38 and R-11 insulation, exterior canopies for heat mitigation, and clerestory windows to increase natural interior light.
The project is supported by a City of Phoenix initiative for ongoing beautification within the 27th Avenue Corridor, designed to add roadway capacity, improve safety and access, and elevate visual appeal through elements such as new sidewalks, ADA ramps, traffic signals and street lighting.
Before construction could begin, the Merit 27 Buckeye site required six months of extensive demolition and remediation to make the land shovel ready. This included clearing 12 buildings that had been vacant for several years, cutting back old utilities to the main source and installing a new water line and meters. In the process, SLC and Merit made the project’s original buildings available to the Phoenix Fire Department for critical hands-on training.
SLC served as the general contractor for Merit 27 Buckeye. Butler Design Group is the architect. Jackie Orcutt, John Werstler, Cooper Fratt and Jonathan Teeter of CBRE are the project’s exclusive leasing brokers.
Merit 27 Buckeye sits in the heart of Phoenix’s transportation network. It is less than one mile west of Interstate 17, two miles south of Interstate 10 and four miles east of the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway, a new 22-mile extension linking the East and West Valleys. Merit 27 Buckeye is also minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and a host of supporting regional airports.
