NEW OFFICE COMPLEX SET FOR CONSTRUCTION IN GROWING SECTION OF TEMPE, ARIZONA

Work could begin early next year on the construction of a $40 million office building geared for high-tech tenants in Tempe.

The project is being developed by Irgens Partners LLC, a commercial real estate developer with offices in Phoenix.

The six-story project is set to go up on a 2.3-acre site at 979 East Playa del Norte Drive near Discovery Triangle, a 25 square-mile economic development area that includes both Tempe and Phoenix.

As planned, the roughly 92,000 square foot building will include sustainable design features with floor to ceiling glass windows and office space heights topping out at twelve feet. 

Also included in the project is an outdoor landscaped patio and parking space for 364 vehicles.

Members of the Tempe City Council have now signed off on a development agreement with Irgens to get the project built.

Launched in 1983, and with offices in Illinois and Wisconsin,  Irgens specializes in both healthcare and commercial real estate projects.
