Arcadia Cold Storage and Logistics has agreed to lease and operate a new cold storage facility in Phoenix, which is currently under construction and is expected to open in the third quarter of this year. The 293,000-sq-ft fully convertible freezer and cooler distribution center facility will have 40,500 pallet positions designed to support a combination of regional distribution, import-export activity, and high-volume throughput handling services. It will serve as a hub for the Southwest U.S. with access to metropolitan markets in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado.

“Arcadia is once again excited to announce our newest location in the fast-growing Phoenix market. The facility represents our westernmost site to date and will satisfy our customers' need for a well-designed and operated building to help manage their product storage and handling requirements. We see strong demand for Phoenix as supply chains continue to gravitate slightly eastward and away from increasingly operationally challenging points in Southern California. We look forward to bringing the unique Arcadia customer service experience to this important market along with new, quality jobs to Phoenix and the surrounding area,” says Arcadia Cold CEO Chris Hughes.
Arcadia specializes in providing third-party handling, storage, distribution, and value-added services to the food industry, bridging the innovation and supply gaps within the cold industrial industry in the U.S. through modern cold storage warehouse development expertise. Its strategic development partnership with Saxum Real Estate offers a collaborative approach to the design-build and operation model that provides efficient construction of fully temperature convertible buildings, coupled with modern supply chain technology innovations.
