Creation breaks ground on new logistics center in Tempe

PHOENIX — Creation, a real estate development and investment firm based out of Phoenix, started construction on a new logistics center in Tempe this week.

Source Logistics Center, a 144,000-square-foot-facility sitting on 15 acres, will be located on the southeast corner of Hardy Drive and Warner Road and is set for completion in mid-2026.

The building will feature 32-foot clear heights, six acres of adjacent yard space and room for vehicle, trailer and box-truck parking. The site also offers rail connectivity for tenants carrying rail spurs.

At Wednesday’s groundbreaking event, partners, investors and city officials participated in the festivities.

Creation also donated $25,000 to Lily’s Pad during the event, a local hyper-clean indoor playground facility for immunocompromised children and their siblings to play at.

“Breaking ground on Source Logistics Center showcases our commitment to delivering modern, infill industrial space in land-constrained submarkets with high barriers to entry,” Grant Kingdon, principal of Mountain West Region at Creation, said in a press release.

“Tempe’s limited land availability and strong demographics drive demand for sites that can accommodate vehicles, equipment, inventory and raw goods. Our team has deep local ties—many of us live here, went to ASU, or launched our careers in Tempe—so there’s a distinct buzz around Source and our nearby Nexus Commerce Center project that will break ground next month. We take great pride in redeveloping these sites and look forward to elevating the bar for logistics and light manufacturing facilities in Tempe.”
