US Merchants has expanded its presence in Arizona with a major property purchase in the West Valley industrial market. The North American consumer goods and packaging manufacturer bought a large industrial building for nearly $63.9 million. The deal strengthens the company’s growing operations in the metro Phoenix area.
The property is part of the West Summit development at Surprise in Arizona. It sits within a major industrial zone developed by Mohr Capital. The site is located near Cactus and Dysart roads and is considered a key logistics location due to its access to rail infrastructure.
The building itself spans about 453,960 square feet, making it a large-scale industrial facility. It will serve as the company’s second location in the Phoenix metropolitan region. The purchase reflects continued demand for large industrial spaces in the West Valley.
The broader project covers about 42.62 acres within Summit Business Park. It is positioned along the BNSF Railway corridor, which supports freight and distribution activity. The development also includes another industrial building measuring over 250,000 square feet, adding to the site’s logistics capacity.
According to project developers, the location was designed specifically for distribution, manufacturing, and logistics operations. The strong transport links, especially rail access, make it attractive for industrial users who rely on efficient shipping routes.
US Merchants was represented in the transaction by CBRE brokers Joey Sugar and John Grady. On the seller’s side, JLL acted on behalf of Mohr Capital, managing the investment and transaction process.
The property includes several advanced industrial features. It offers a 36-foot clear height, wide speed bays, and a large secured truck court designed for heavy logistics use. The facility also includes 101 dock doors and multiple entry points for trucks and freight operations.
In total, the site can accommodate hundreds of vehicles, including 368 cars and 144 trailers. It also includes modern infrastructure such as LED lighting and full air conditioning, which is important for large-scale warehouse and production environments.
The building also contains a small office area of nearly 3,000 square feet. This allows administrative operations to be managed directly on site alongside industrial activity.
Developers say rail access is one of the most important advantages of the project. A planned rail spur by US Merchants is expected to improve shipping efficiency and strengthen its supply chain operations. This aligns with the broader industrial design of the West Summit project.
Mohr Capital’s development leadership said the site was planned with logistics companies in mind from the beginning. The company emphasized that its location next to rail lines makes it a strong choice for manufacturing and distribution users.
The surrounding industrial area is already home to several major companies. These include logistics and retail operators such as Walmart, REI, XPO Logistics, and SubZero. Their presence highlights the West Valley’s role as a growing industrial hub.
Experts say the Phoenix metro area continues to attract large industrial investments due to strong transport infrastructure and growing demand for distribution space. The West Valley in particular has become a key region for warehouse and manufacturing expansion.
The deal reflects broader trends in the US industrial real estate market, where companies are securing large facilities to support supply chain resilience and long-term growth.
With this acquisition, US Merchants strengthens its position in Arizona’s fast-growing logistics sector and adds significant capacity to its regional operations.
