UPDATE: AUGUST 2025

ARCO National Construction has completed an 858,000-square-foot distribution facility for Scannell Properties and Five Below in Buckeye, Arizona. The project was developed to support large-scale retail distribution and e-commerce operations within the rapidly growing Phoenix industrial market.

Constructed using tilt-up concrete, the facility features a 40-foot clear height and a fully conditioned warehouse environment designed to maintain operational efficiency and employee comfort. The building includes 161 dock positions and two drive-in doors to support high-volume logistics and distribution throughput.

The facility incorporates a conveyor system with catwalks to streamline material handling and improve operational flow throughout the warehouse. Office space within the building includes an 11,569-square-foot main office, a 7,254-square-foot shipping and receiving office, and a 4,352-square-foot e-commerce office to support administrative and operational functions.

Additional building systems include an ESFR sprinkler system to support fire protection requirements for high-pile storage and distribution operations.

The completed facility provides Five Below with a modern, high-capacity distribution hub designed to support continued growth and efficient delivery across its retail and e-commerce network.

ARCO is proud to announce the successful completion of a 217,000 square foot speculative warehouse for repeat clients Silver Creek Development and Stonemont Financial. This state-of-the-art facility is located on a 13.26-acre site, featuring cutting-edge construction and design, ideal for tenants in need of modern, adaptable industrial space.

The single-story, free-standing facility was constructed using concrete tilt-up construction, boasting 48 dock doors, a 32-foot interior clear height and 162 parking stalls complemented by 44 trailer storage parking spaces. Designed to meet both immediate and future needs, the warehouse offers a 3,000 square foot speculative tenant improvement office suite.

With a focus on long-term sustainability, the facility incorporates eight onsite drywells for private stormwater management. The building’s infrastructure includes a 3,000-amp electrical service with rough-in for an additional 3,000 amps, providing flexibility for future expansion. Additionally, the under-slab sanitary sewer rough-in “E” allows for the future streamlining of tenant improvements at building corners and primary elevations.

The project also included significant public infrastructure improvements, enhancing the surrounding area with half a mile of new public roadway, street paving, sidewalks, water and sewer services, as well as bike lane striping. These improvements are a key contribution to the region’s growing industrial sector, promoting both traffic efficiency and community safety.

“We are excited to bring this facility to market, as it offers unmatched flexibility for industrial tenants,” said Bob Micera of Silver Creek Development. “This project represents a significant investment in the region’s economic growth and provides a modern solution for the evolving demands of the logistics and warehousing industry.”

Stonemont Financial Group’s Josh Wheeler shared that completing this project “marks a significant milestone for Stonemont as we continue expanding our footprint in the Phoenix area. Working with ARCO provided a seamless experience, with their team demonstrating exceptional expertise and attention to detail throughout the process. This facility is well-positioned to attract a tenant looking for strategic access to the Phoenix market and beyond.”

ARCO has recently entered a partnership with Contour, a leading privately held real estate and development company, as the design-build partner of a two-phased construction project. At the end of 2021, Contour acquired 112 acres of land located in the city of Mesa, Arizona. This land sits in the southeast corner of Sossaman 202 Industrial Park. Over the course of development, ARCO will design and build eight new industrial warehouses totaling more than 1.5 million square feet. The first phase of construction will commence in 2022 and will include the development of five new structures.

Patrick Clay, Director of Business Development, ARCO said, “ARCO is excited to be Contour’s industrial design-build partner for the Sossaman 202 Industrial Park in Mesa, Arizona. Contour’s national presence and reputation as a design-build-focused developer have led to a strong partnership. We are thrilled to build on that partnership while helping markets like Phoenix meet the high tenant demand for industrial space.”

This development at the Sossaman 202 Industrial Park will bring great accessibility to future tenants Located off Loop 202 and Sossaman Road, the large infill site has excellent highway visibility.

Joe Rook, Principal, ARCO said, “the Phoenix industrial market has been experiencing great momentum and growth. We’re excited to be partnering with Contour who has a proven, national track record.”

BJ Keane, Vice President of Operations, ARCO said “The ARCO Mountain West office is thrilled to have another national development partner active in the Valley! This corridor of the 202 will continue to a focal point for industrial development in the East Valley for the foreseeable future and we are excited to be a part of it.”
