GLENDALE, Ariz. — Opus has broken ground on 59Bell Technology Park, a 57,520-square-foot Class A speculative industrial real estate development in Glendale, Arizona, the Minneapolis-based real estate development and construction firm announced April 14.

The project, located at 16305 N 56th Ave. on a 5.61-acre site, is designed specifically for companies within the semiconductor and advanced technology supply chain. Completion is expected before the end of 2026.

High-Power Infrastructure in a Smaller Industrial Footprint

The defining feature of 59Bell Technology Park is its three-phase 3,000-amp electrical service — a power capacity more commonly found in much larger industrial facilities. The building can accommodate up to four tenants or a single occupant controlling the entire facility, offering flexibility for companies that require both significant power infrastructure and operational security.

Additional building specifications include a 20-foot clear height, a 1,200-square-foot speculative office space, four dock doors with full dock leveler equipment packages, eight 14-foot by 16-foot oversized drive-in dock doors, 77 vehicle parking stalls, and a secure truck court.

"We're seeing increasing demand from semiconductor and advanced manufacturing users who need significant power but don't need a large footprint," said Mike George, senior manager of real estate development with Opus. "This project reflects a more specialized industrial product that's designed around infrastructure and power capacity rather than just square footage."

Strategic Location Near TSMC and Amkor

The development is situated just south of Deer Valley's industrial corridor in the greater Phoenix area, placing it in close proximity to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Amkor. The location also provides access to Loop 101, Interstate 17, and Deer Valley Airport.

According to Opus, the area provides access to a large skilled workforce and is home to a growing network of suppliers and related users supporting the semiconductor manufacturers in the region.

James Cohn, senior vice president with CBRE, is marketing the development. "A lot of users today are trying to balance power requirements, location and building size," Cohn said. "Facilities that can deliver high power in a smaller, single-tenant environment are very appealing because they give companies efficiency, security and room to scale their operations."

Opus as Developer and Design-Builder

Opus is serving as both developer and design-builder for the project. Deutsch Architecture Group is the architect of record. CBRE is handling leasing and marketing.

Opus, a group of commercial real estate development, design, and construction companies headquartered in Minneapolis, operates through subsidiaries including Opus Development Company, Opus Design Build, and Opus AE Group. The firm specializes in industrial, residential, office, retail, and institutional projects across the country, utilizing an integrated design-build delivery model.
