Executive Summary

• Development and groundbreakings led the week, with industrial and master-planned land setting the pace. A 1.14 million-SF Class A logistics groundbreaking in Glendale (North Park Logistics Center) and a $63 million, 274-acre master-planned land buy in Peoria (Pulte and Tri Pointe) underscore that capital is still aggressively positioning for West Valley growth even as the broader pipeline thins.

• Multifamily investment is rebalancing toward stabilized and income-producing product. An $81.6 million Gilbert apartment trade (Alta Rise, roughly $293,525 per unit) and a record-setting $109 million senior-housing sale in Scottsdale (Acoya Shea, about $740,000 per unit) show institutional buyers continuing to underwrite newly delivered Class A and durable, income-generating assets in supply-constrained submarkets.

• Industrial remains the metro's dominant engine, and the data confirms it. New reporting shows Q1 2026 industrial leasing of 7.5 million SF and 4.4 million SF of net absorption, with vacancy compressing 120 basis points to 12.4% and rents up 5% to $1.18 PSF NNN, even as new deliveries fell 82% year over year and power, electrical-gear lead times, and tariff-driven cost inflation bind the construction pipeline.
