Glendale’s Mega Warehouse Play Kicks Off As West Valley Logistics Race Escalates

Lovett Industrial and Peakline Real Estate Funds have officially broken ground on North Park Logistics Center, a 1,140,584-square-foot Class A cross-dock complex rising in Glendale’s Southwest Valley. The speculative, two-phase project spans roughly 55.68 acres and is geared toward large distribution tenants, with the first building slated to deliver in Q2 2027. Once the planned second building of about 623,000 square feet comes online, the campus is expected to total around 1.7 million square feet of industrial space.

According to a press release from Business Wire, the park will offer immediate access to Northern Parkway, Loop 303 and Interstate 10 and will feature 40-foot clear heights, 197 dock-high doors and significant trailer parking. The release also names Bank OZK as senior construction lender, Willmeng Construction as the general contractor and HPA as the lead architect.

Lovett’s materials peg Building 1 at roughly 1.14 million square feet and Building 2 at about 623,000 square feet, detailing specs such as an 8-inch reinforced concrete slab, 29 knockout panels and deep truck courts, per Lovett Industrial. A CBRE listing identifies the site at the southeast corner of Northern Parkway and 147th Drive and shows John Werstler and Cooper Fratt as the exclusive leasing brokers handling marketing and lease-up for the project.

Who’s behind it and why now

Lovett positions North Park as part of its broader Western U.S. growth strategy, with CEO Charlie Meyer saying the Glendale location “checks all the boxes for modern users” in the company announcement, according to Business Wire. The release points to several other Lovett projects across the region, underscoring the firm’s ongoing bet on large-format logistics assets in the Southwest.

That kind of absorption has encouraged more speculative building, and developers say it keeps leasing competition tight…
