Tempe Industrial with Rail Spur Capability

by Mike Hunter

The recently completed Source Business Center brings 144,885 square feet of Class-A industrial space to Tempe. Situated on a 15-acre site at the southeast corner of Warner Road and Hardy Drive, the property features prominent frontage on Warner Road, direct access to I-10 and Loop 101 and rail spur capability due to its adjacency to a Union Pacific rail line.

Developed by Creation and investor CrossHarbor Capital Partners, the project offers generous 32-foot clear heights, extensive power and an expansive six acres of contiguous yard space to support flexible storage and vehicle parking.

The building is designed with flexibility in mind and can accommodate up to two tenants with distinct entrances and dedicated parking zones. The site provides 204 parking spaces, including eight electric vehicle charging spaces, as well as bicycle parking and separate pedestrian paths. LGE Design Build served as both architect and general contractor for the project.

“Source Business Center illustrates our commitment to creating industrial buildings that go beyond function alone,” said Mike Stafford, president of LGE Design Build. “By pairing efficient construction with a design that considers scale, light and the pedestrian experience, we delivered a flexible, future-ready facility that brings lasting value to both users and the surrounding community.”

Architecturally, Source Business Center is designed to be timeless and welcoming. Large areas of glass bring in natural light and strengthen the connection between the building and the surrounding landscape. A muted, desert-inspired color palette and subtle exterior stripe patterns add visual interest while maintaining a clean, modern look. At each entrance, deeply recessed, portal-like covered entryways and vertical sun-shading elements help reduce heat through passive design strategies.
