Chandler Airpark 202

Fullscript is expanding its operations to Chandler with the lease of 171,862 square feet of industrial space at Chandler Airpark 202. The health-tech company offers a platform for personalized care planning, lab ordering, and supplement dispensing. Used by more than 125,000 healthcare providers, the new space will support Fullscript's plans for continued growth.


“At Fullscript, we believe the best operations are built around people. This new space allows us to support our growing team with modern technology, thoughtful design, and tools that make work safer and more efficient, while ensuring the human care and attention behind every order remains at the center of what we do. We’re excited to deepen our roots in Chandler and grow alongside the community.” said Kevin Purcell, Fullscript's Chief Customer Officer.


The project reflects the strong demand for Class A industrial space in Chandler. “Fullscript locating in the Airpark Area highlights the continued momentum we’re seeing in this key employment corridor,” said Micah Miranda, Economic Development Director for the City of Chandler. “This investment not only brings high-quality jobs to our city but also reinforces Chandler’s reputation as a top market for advanced operations and logistics.”

Ten56 to deliver 180,000 square feet of Class A industrial space

Ten56 Development

A new project known as Ten56 is set to provide more than 180,000 square feet of speculative industrial space in the West Chandler employment corridor. Developed by STAG Industrial and Becknell Industrial, the building will be located less than a mile from the I-10/Loop 202 interchange at the southwest corner of 56th Street and Chandler Boulevard.


Ten56 will help meet demand for quality industrial space in West Chandler. Industrial vacancy in the area is only 6.2% per CoStar, well below the Phoenix metro average of 11.4%. West Chandler is popular among employers looking for regional connectivity, access to a highly skilled workforce, and proximity to some of Arizona's leading technology, advanced manufacturing, logistics, and semiconductor employers.


"Industrial development projects like Ten56 are critical to our local economy," said Mayor Kevin Hartke. "This investment reinforces Chandler's reputation as a premier location for business and ensures we continue to have the space and infrastructure needed to support the companies that drive our community's success."


Construction is anticipated to start after the project gets through the city's development plan review process, with delivery targeted for August 2027.
