The transaction, made by MREG Bullard LLC, a MREG affiliate, was one of the largest industrial sales in the region this year, according to the Phoenix Business Journal.

Pat Feeney, Dan Calihan, Rusty Kennedy and James Cohn of CBRE in Phoenix represented the buyer and have been selected as the exclusive leasing agency for the project. Bruce Francis of CBRE Capital Markets, Debt & Structured Finance arranged the acquisition financing for the MREG affiliate.

Richard Mack, MREG CEO, said in a prepared statement the firm believes well-located assets like The HUB at Goodyear are poised to outperform in an increasingly online retail economy. He said Phoenix is an area where the Mack family business expected to ramp up strategic acquisition and development activity in high quality industrial products as well as other product types and business lines. He noted the company has been actively investing and developing industrial and office properties in Phoenix since 1987. Mack said the acquisition of The HUB at Goodyear demonstrates MREG’s renewed commitment to the market, adding the firm expected to announce more news about Phoenix assets in the near future.

Feeney said in a prepared statement the facility caters to distribution, manufacturing and e-commerce companies looking to take advantage of all the benefits of locating within Goodyear, including a robust labor pool, access to California and nine other metros in the Western U.S. and proximity to many of Arizona’s largest corporate tenants.
