Kimley-Horn to Open New Phoenix Location at Lincoln’s Class A Union Office Development in Mesa, Arizona
New Building One amenities and upgrades support long-term lease commitment
Full-service commercial real estate firm Lincoln Property Company (Lincoln) has signed Kimley-Horn, one of the nation’s premier planning and design consultants, to a 34,771-square-foot, long-term lease at Union Building One. Building One is the first building completed within the 1.35 million-square-foot, Class A Union office project being developed by Lincoln and Harvard Investments in the Arizona Riverview District in Mesa, Arizona.
The lease establishes Kimley-Horn’s fifth Arizona office location, including locations on Camelback Road in Phoenix, Southern Avenue in Mesa, West Godwin Street in Prescott and East Sunrise Drive in Tucson. A FORTUNE “100 Best Companies to Work For,” Kimley-Horn operates more than 135 offices nationwide, employing nearly 9,000 team members.
Fronting the Loop 202 freeway at 2046 W. Riverview Auto Dr. in Mesa, the 238,343-square-foot Building One offers large floorplates, high ceilings, outdoor balconies and 10-foot vision glass to maximize surrounding city and mountain views.
It is part of the 28.2-acre, 1.35 million-square-foot Union master plan, which spans four Class A office buildings, indoor-outdoor areas, water features, adjacency to the Riverview Park and Lake, and a direct link to the Rio Salado Pathway.
“Kimley-Horn will add tremendous energy to Union Building One – one of the Valley’s premiere new office deliveries that only continues to improve,” said Lincoln Director of Real Estate Nick Nudo. “Their lease underscores the draw of this project and will serve as its cornerstone, truly making Union a place where tenants and employees can fully embrace and enjoy the workday.”
Last month, Harvard and Lincoln kicked off a significant amenities upgrade plan for Building One. Underway now, the program will add a main lounge, state-of-the-art conference center, golf simulator and bar and kitchen areas via “The Clubhouse,” as well as two move-in-ready speculative office suites.
Kimley-Horn is scheduled to move into Union Building One during Q1 2025, occupying approximately half of the building’s top floor.
Charles Daggett of Savills represented Kimley-Horn in its lease negotiations. Lincoln was self-represented.
Union directly fronts the Loop 202 freeway, two miles from Arizona State University’s main Tempe campus and 10 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport. The transit-oriented site is accessed by two freeway interchanges at Dobson Road and Rio Salado Parkway. It is surrounded by 1.2 million square feet of retail, restaurants and hotels. It is also walking distance to Wrigleyville West, home of the Chicago Cubs spring training.
Future buildings at Union will range from four to eight stories and from 232,000 to 450,000 square feet, with parking support similar to Building One. Lincoln serves as the project leasing agent and property manager at Union. For more information, contact David Krumwiede or John Orsak at (602) 912-8888.
