This acquisition expands Phoenix's footprint to 23 states. Phoenix will be implementing a capital improvement plan to reinvigorate the space for new users.

The city of Waseca is centrally located at the crossroads of major highways and a short commute from the Twin Cities, making it a hub for manufacturing and transportation. Located at 229 Johnson Avenue SW in Waseca, MN, the subject property can support numerous uses and configurations.

"We are thrilled to enter the Minnesota industrial market with our acquisition in Waseca," said Frank Crivello, Chairman and Founder of Phoenix. "We are confident that our capital improvement plans will make this facility an even greater asset to the tenants, the community, and its residents."
