Company plans growth in North Scottsdale location
PHOENIX - Forbes Industries (Forbes Refrigeration) purchased a commercial condominium at 7291 E. Adobe Street #105 in Scottsdale to serve as its headquarters. The company purchased the property from the owner of Bell Union Auto Service and plans to grow its refrigeration business within the expanding North Scottsdale area.
“The seller of this property is a long-term client and decided it was time to retire and sell his business suite,” says Greg Hopley, executive vice president with Colliers in Arizona. “The asset suits the Forbes operation perfectly and enables the company to take over this move-in ready suite. Forbes Refrigeration will be able to start its operations immediately and take advantage of the incredible demographics in this dynamic area of Scottsdale.”
Hopley and Dillon Hopley of Colliers in Arizona represented SCSC Enterprises, LLC, the seller in the transaction. Nicole Forbes of DPR Commercial represented Forbes Industries in the acquisition.
Forbes Industries paid $999,000 for the suite, which contains 2,713 square feet of space. The property is located within the Scottsdale Ridge Business Center, just off Scottsdale Road, north of the Loop 101 freeway. Configuration of the suite includes 80 percent warehouse space and the remaining 20 percent includes reception, office, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Forbes Refrigeration has taken occupancy of the property.
