The Federal government’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has agreed to a 10-year lease for a 46.1k sf field office located at 1330 South 16th St in Phoenix. The site is situated just west of Sky Harbor International Airport at the juncture of Interstates 10 and 17, and within the Discovery Triangle.
The property is an adaptive re-use / urban renewal project with the GSA that involved revitalizing an abandoned facility at this infill site. The entire building was completely gutted and renovated using USGBC guidelines to pursue LEED core and shell certification. Located in a Phoenix Enterprise Zone, the building offers easy access to public transportation, including light rail. Formerly, the building was a grocery store and pharmacy.
The project will upgrade the immediate area by adding a new parking lot, parking lot lighting and new landscaping, in addition to 120 additional employees in the neighborhood who are likely to utilize the local restaurants, banks and other retail outlets. The agency is projected to serve 36,000 customers per year.
Julie Rhoades, Suzanne Drake and Yolanda Morgan of Jones Lang LaSalle represented the government in the transaction. Lynn Newhall of DOXA Central LLC represented the building owner, DOXA South, LLC.
According to its website, GSA’s leased portfolio contains more than 7,100 separate properties—totalling approximately 189 msf — dispersed across the United States. Since 2005, Jones Lang LaSalle has assisted GSA in the award of more than 1,000 leases. Nationwide, the firm is currently assisting on more than 525 lease procurements for Federal civilian departments and agencies across the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
