1.1 Million-SF Industrial Project Breaks Ground in the West Valley

Willmeng Construction began work on GO|99 North, the newest 1 million square foot speculative industrial building in the Valley. For developer GO Industrial, the 1.1 million square foot, Class A warehouse and distribution facility is the largest single building the company has brought to market.

“GO | 99 North answers a genuine shortage of million-square-foot-plus buildings in this market, and it strengthens a corridor we’re deeply invested in,” said Robert Guerena, GO Industrial President. “Building on our success directly to the south at GO | 99 South, we’re excited to bring this project and the opportunity it creates to the West Valley.”

Designed by DLR Group, GO|99 North is the firm’s second development along 99th Ave. in SW Phoenix. GO|99 South, a three building, 1.28 million square foot industrial park, was built by Willmeng and then sold in 2023 for $165 million, one of the largest industrial transactions of that year.

“We’re excited to be partnering with Robert and the GO Industrial team again,” said Willmeng CEO James Murphy. “GO|99 South was a great example of what can happen when exceptional partners come together with a shared commitment to excellence. We’re looking forward to building on that success with GO Industrial and DLR Group. Great projects are built on trust, collaboration, and the quality of the people behind them.”

Situated on 75 acres in Tolleson’s Estrella Park neighborhood, the facility offers direct, 3-minute access to Interstate 10 and it is less than 5 miles to the Loop 202 South Mountain freeway to the east. The straightforward, high-performance design includes industry-leading 40-foot clear heights, 190 dock-high doors, 4 grade-level doors, and all-concrete 245-foot truck courts to ensure smooth distribution operations. To accommodate the high volume of vehicular traffic, the facility offers ample parking with 1,200 spaces for cars and 113 spots for truck and trailer parking.

GO|99 North will be built with a highly durable TPO 60-mil roofing membrane paired with R-38 roof insulation, and clerestory windows to provide natural light. It is an air-conditioning-ready warehouse equipped with 3,600 AMPS of expandable power, secured by a perimeter fence with seven rolling gates.

With its strategic location, massive footprint, and best-in-class construction, GO|99 North is positioned to be a premier logistics hub for businesses feeding the demands of a growing population.

Recent market trends have seen an incredible absorption of massive big-box logistics facilities. Currently, all existing 1 million-plus square foot warehouses in Arizona have been fully leased by major e-commerce and retail tenants, leaving virtually no available speculative megawarehouses of this size on the market. With many developers intentionally stalling new large-scale construction to allow the market to balance, GO Industrial and Willmeng are actively filling a critical void for large-format industrial space.
