Phoenix industrial property investment hits a record, driven by TSMC
TSMC's chip buildout in Arizona is spilling into Phoenix warehouses and factory space, a boost for local landlords, builders, and workers.
- Investment in Phoenix industrial property hit an all-time quarterly high early this year, and stayed strong after a small dip.
- TSMC's expansion is now the single biggest force pulling in warehouse and logistics demand in the area.
- Empty space keeps shrinking, with vacancy falling for five straight quarters and a large amount of new construction still going up.
- Arizona logged record company investment pledges and record new jobs for the fiscal year, with pay above the state's middle wage.
- TSMC added another $100 billion in July for four more advanced chip plants, lifting its Arizona commitment to $265 billion.
Outlook: With chip, AI, and advanced manufacturing money still flowing in, Phoenix industrial space should stay tight and keep drawing buyers.
