Consumer Cellular Inc. has locked up the largest office lease in the Phoenix metro this year, signing a 15-year deal for the entire 123,340-square-foot building at 8501 E. Raintree Dr. in north Scottsdale, according to KTAR, which published the story in partnership with the Phoenix Business Journal.
The no-contract wireless carrier will consolidate call center workers, marketing, technical, executive, and administrative teams into the Raintree building, pulling together operations that had been spread across multiple Valley locations. CEO Ed Evans told the Business Journal the move reflects a deliberate look at the company's next decade. "We started to look at the next 10 years for the company, it just makes a lot more sense to have a centralized location that has both call center components in it and corporate headquarters," Evans said. "So the facility at Raintree is kind of bringing that all together for us."
Jonathan Keyser and Jeff Rifkin of Keyser Commercial Real Estate represented Consumer Cellular in the transaction. Bryan Taute of JLL represented the building's owner, Tryperion Holdings.
The deal was first reported by the Phoenix Business Journal on May 22. Connect CRE confirmed the lease is the largest office deal signed in the Phoenix metro so far this year.
Why is Consumer Cellular consolidating now?
Evans told the Business Journal the company evaluated its next 10 years and determined a single centralized facility combining call center operations and corporate headquarters functions was the more practical structure. The Raintree building delivers both under one address.
Consumer Cellular's occupancy timeline has not been disclosed in public records. Tryperion Holdings retains ownership of the building.
