A significant accomplishment in Valley commercial real estate happened this quarter: The completion of The Learning Journey corporate office/distribution center in Deer Valley. This 40,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility features many unique architectural treatments. Plus, it’s the only build to suite facility built in the Deer Valley Airport area in 2010.

For fifteen years The Learning Journey has been designing and manufacturing an exclusive line of award-winning children’s interactive educational products. All products at The Learning Journey encourage learning and develop confidence as they enhance a child’s potential. All products build on the skills necessary for children to be prepared for school and beyond.

NAI Brokers Andrea Davis and Josh Landers worked with their client from the beginning showing them existing buildings that they could convert to meet their needs as well as shell buildings. After reviewing all of their options (and quite a few tours and number crunching) it became clear that they could build their dream building for less than they could purchase a shell warehouse space or retrofit an existing warehouse building.

Davis/Landers represented the Buyer in the land purchase and worked through the build to suite process with them. They also worked hand in hand to make sure that their building not only works for them today, yet will have a second generation value if they choose to sell in the future.

Congratulations to The Learning Journey on their exciting new facility and to Andrea Davis and Josh Landers for showing their client the many options that were available and choosing the best one.
