ABB Westcore PHX interiorWestcore purchased the property when construction completed in August 2019 and subsequently built out a spec suite while marketing the property late last year.

“ABB chose our West80 Industrial Building as its West Coast Distribution Center in Phoenix to support the western region because the location and state-of-the-art features of this property met all of their needs,” said Lauren Suazo, Vice President, Leasing for Westcore.
