Dalfen Industrial has acquired Gilbert Distribution Center at 1495 E Baseline Rd. in Gilbert, AZ, a southeast suburb of Phoenix. The opportunity for the 109,510 square foot property was sourced off-market.
The Gilbert Distribution Center was built in 2014 and has all the characteristics needed to satisfy today’s modern e-commerce requirements. The building is 100% leased to two long-standing tenants, Scrapbook.com, and TLC Label.
Located in the Gilbert/Chandler submarket of Phoenix, Gilbert Distribution Center is a key last mile location to serve the Phoenix MSA. The surrounding population is in excess of 1 million people within a 10-mile radius and 2 million people within a 30-minute drive. It is also in close proximity to Hwy. 60 and the market’s railways and is located between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

He added, “Phoenix, has literally all the critical market fundamentals that are important to us, and we intend to grow our footprint here substantially over the next 18 months”.
