Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of I-10 International, a Class A industrial project that will deliver more than 1 million square feet. Located on 79 acres in the Tucson airport submarket, this development marks Lincoln Property Company‘s entry into the Tucson market.
The $75 million Phase I encompasses 373,811 square feet across two premiere warehouse/distribution buildings, Building 1: 158,944 SF and Building 2: 214,867 SF. A third building of 188,434 SF will be constructed based on market demand. Lincoln owns an additional 42.3 acres at I-10 International, able to accommodate future Class A industrial development that would ultimately bring the project to more than 1 million square feet.
“I-10 International represents a significant addition to Tucson’s industrial landscape,” said Jesse Blum, Principal & Industrial Specialist at Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR and exclusive leasing agent for the project. “This state-of-the-art development will meet the growing demand for high-quality industrial space in our market.”
All buildings at I-10 International Phase I will be state-of-the-art cold-capable with 32’ clear height, 14’ tall glass entrances, full concrete truck courts, generous use of clerestory windows to let in abundant natural light, and an R-38 insulated roof deck system.
I-10 International will follow a “creative industrial” vision, delivering amenities often only found in Class A office buildings and designed to attract and retain a new generation of highly skilled employees offering specialized expertise. This includes a best-in-class outdoor amenity space with shaded and landscaped areas, built-in barbecue equipment, and seating for outdoor relaxing, dining, and games.
David Krumwiede, Senior Executive Vice President at Lincoln Property Company, commented on the project: “Arizona’s massive population growth is propelling demand across the state, and the industrial market is expanding in kind. Tucson has abundant land, superior logistics advantages, and collaborative municipal partners ready to respond to this demand. Together, that creates a winning formula for the kind of institutional-quality industrial investment and development that we plan to deliver through I-10 International.”
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero expressed her support for the project: “Congratulations to Lincoln Property Company on the groundbreaking of I-10 International. Unlike other cities in Arizona, Tucson enjoys a competitive advantage in transportation and logistics thanks to our geography, which includes our proximity to Mexico and connections to 1-10 and 1-19, air and rail. This new investment at I-10 International will help us activate over 1 million square feet of much-needed warehouse and distribution space so that the Sonoran Desert corridor continues to be a destination for commerce and economic growth.”
John Orsak, Senior Vice President at Lincoln Property Company, highlighted the project’s logistical advantages: “I-10 International will allow a broad range of tenants to take full advantage of nearby Interstates 10 and 19, and Tucson International, the state’s second-busiest airport. These distribution channels provide a direct connection to major ports in the U.S. and Mexico, with the ability to distribute product to 46 million people within a 500-mile radius.”
Brinkmann Constructors is the general contractor for I-10 International Phase I. The project’s design is a collaboration between architects Butler Design Group and Ware Malcomb.
