Colosseum 3

75,550 SF | Light Industrial Spec, Industrial  | Peoria, Arizona

Colosseum 3 and AGL Properties, spearheaded by entrepreneur Jason Beck of TYR Tactical, represent a pinnacle of local accomplishment. TYR Tactical’s nearby two-building headquarters, with the recent addition of Colosseum 3, symbolizes innovation and growth.

The new Colosseum 3 project is a speculative business incubator project. The concept is to provide lease space for business startups. The innovators can be from any entrepreneurial arena, from medical device manufacturers to technology ventures and lab spaces.

The building is a 75,550 SF two-story industrial warehouse building located on the northwest corner of Olive Avenue and N 91st Avenue in Peoria, Arizona. The property is on a 4.55-acre site and features a securely fenced yard, oversized grade-level doors, and a clear 24’ height at the frontage of the east-facing building.

The project provides a maximum of 4 suites for future leasing options. The suite sizes range from 17,740 SF and 20,056 SF to the entire 75,550 SF. All suites are mezzanine-ready at the front and have access to a truck well and grade-level roll-up door to the rear.

To accommodate the narrow site, the truck wells are oriented at a 60-degree angle, allowing trucks to back in without being perpendicular to the building. Additional roll-up doors are available on either side of the truck well for drive-in at-grade access via 16×16 doors, which are larger than typical for most of our industrial developments.

The west-facing truck wells are concealed by architectural screen walls, which enhance the building’s aesthetic along Loop 101 and the off-ramp. Additionally, the spandrel panels above the screens serve as locations for signage.

The building also features a consistent architectural vocabulary with the previous two nearby TYR Tactical buildings. This building stands out and features contemporary metal panel entrances and steel arcade-like canopies. The design intends to convey identity to the TYR Tactical company and make the project stand out from its non-campus neighbors.

The initial site plan comprised two distinct sites and buildings. The Colosseum 3 project’s inaugural development has commenced on the site, while the remaining portion is slated for future development phases. The coordination of these phases, on-site circulation, project entrances, and truck maneuvering underwent multiple iterations to adhere to the site’s constraints.
