One hundred percent occupancy before completion
Ryan developed and constructed this 242,863 square-foot speculative distribution center in the 92-acre Ryan West Business Park. Before building completion, it achieved 100 percent occupancy with lease agreements for two major corporations — Western Molding and Tosco Marketing Group (now ConocoPhillips). Ryan had already developed a successful relationship with Tosco through building their 450,000-square-foot, two-phased corporate headquarters on a 17-acre site in Tempe, Arizona.
The ConocoPhillips Distribution Building won the NAIOP 2001 Industrial Building of the Year award. The building features tilt panel construction, high performance reflective glass, a 28-foot clear height, 31 front-loaded fully-gated and -secured docks/truck wells, 150 feet of truck maneuverability, 17,836 square feet of refrigerator/freezer space and was designed to accommodate future two-story uses.
