Terminix plans to expand its operations to Arizona and open a new customer care center at Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale.<\/p>\n

In a deal touted as the largest office lease in the property’s history, the Memphis, Tenn.-based pest-control company will occupy the entire 32,800 -square-foot second floor of the east building beginning Oct. 1. The new facility will bring a total of 300 new jobs to the area.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cThis lease is a validation of the market\u2019s response to the nearly $1 million in investments iStar has made in upgrades to the property over the past year,\u201d said Jeff Teetsel, Westgate’s development manager.<\/p>\n

Located at 6770 North Sunrise Blvd., Westgate is anchored by Jobing.com Arena, home of the Phoenix Coyotes. Other tenants include Buffalo Wild Wings, Whiskey Rose Bar & Grill, Chipotle, Gallery Glendale and the Arizona Republic<\/em>, which relocated its West Valley office earlier this year according to AZ Business Magazine<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In transaction news, an affiliate of Los Angeles-based Griffin Capital Corp. has acquired a 232,600 square-foot, Class A, two building office complex in Phoenix in a $54.5 million deal. Located north of Downtown Phoenix in the Deer Valley submarket, the two-building asset is triple-net leased to a tenant described by Griffin Capital as a Fortune 500 global healthcare services company.<\/p>\n

The seller, an unidentified institutional investor, was represented by Chris Toci, Chad Littell, Tim Whittemore of Cushman & Wakefield Inc.’s Phoenix office, as well as Robert Elms and Ben Cooper, New York City-based members of Cushman & Wakefield’s corporate finance and investment banking team.<\/p>\n

The deal marks the second local acquisition by Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT Inc.; last month, it purchased a 231,400-square-foot, Class A, flex R&D facility<\/a> in Chandler for approximately $32.5 million.
