PHOENIX, AZ— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of an industrial property located at 733 West 22nd Street in Tempe, Arizona. Matthews™ First Vice President John Stroud represented the seller in the $5,100,000 transaction.

 

Located in the highly competitive Tempe submarket, the 24,220-square-foot property features a large lot component. The seller elected to sell the asset to reposition after the tenant vacated the building to relocate to a smaller facility. Matthews™ sourced the opportunity through long-term, research-driven reporting and direct outreach and executed a targeted marketing process, securing a sale to an owner-user buyer who was attracted to the property’s substantial site footprint, strategic location, and long-term flexibility.

 

Shortly after the property was brought to market, SBA-related complications surfaced as a federal government shutdown began, introducing unexpected complexity during escrow. Matthews™ worked closely with all parties to navigate evolving requirements to keep the deal on track through closing. Throughout the process, the Matthews™ agent also explored tax-deferral strategies and potential up-leg alternatives, ultimately supporting a transition into creative solutions aligned with the seller’s objectives.

 

“This deal required persistence and creative problem-solving, particularly as we navigated the intersection of a competitive bidding process and the logistical challenges of a government shutdown,” Stroud said. “By focusing on the unique value of the site and working through tax-deferral considerations, we were able to deliver a strong result for the seller.”
