Spurred by expanding businesses and new startups, Metro Phoenix is seeing office vacancy rates tumble and rental rates steadily increase.
Case in point is the Piestewa Peak Corridor, which is experiencing a 5 percent rent growth the past year and overall vacancy down to 15 percent compared to more than 20 percent during the downturn.
This submarket offers professional businesses a more affordable and quality office product that is easily accessible to Downtown and Midtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor International Airport, and the Camelback Corridor. Rents in the Piestewa Peak submarket are generally 30 to 40 percent lower than those in the Camelback/Esplanade area.
Regus has recently joined the Piestewa Peak submarket, occupying more than 15,000 SF @ The Peak, located at 7301 N. 16th St. The property features new building finishes and upgraded lobby and restrooms. There are only two spaces remaining for lease in the building, both of which are coming available for the first time in more than 20 years.
The suites are 2,304 SF and a 6,257 SF space with first floor lobby exposure.
Amenities at The Peak include upgraded conference rooms.
The property has easy access to SR 51 and is minutes from Downtown Phoenix, the Biltmore Corridor, and numerous retail and restaurant amenities. It also features a covered parking garage with an expanded parking ratio due to the property owner’s recent acquisition of the Pointe Business Plaza.
The Pointe Business Plaza, right up 16th Street from The Peak, is also undergoing renovations to offer existing and new tenants a fresh look and updated property amenities. Available space at the Pointe ranges from 1,391-2,606 SF and suites are ready for move-in.
