Selling in Phoenix comes with local rules. This page gives a Phoenix owner the City’s two industrial districts and their yard rules, the market’s submarkets and numbers, air cargo, and the Arizona rules on value appeals, the deed affidavit and voluntary cleanup.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Q3 2026 report on the Phoenix industrial market quotes rents per sq ft per month, not per year: the average asking rent was $1.03 for warehouse/distribution space and $1.15 for manufacturing properties, while high-technology and office service buildings were at $1.31 and $1.37. Warehouse/distribution buildings took the largest share of leasing in that report, with 7.1 million sq ft in the third quarter and 20.3 million sq ft year to date. The report also notes that data centers were removed from its industrial inventory as of Q1 2026.

Phoenix Industrial Market Facts

Industrial Zoning in the City of Phoenix

The City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, published online by ICC Code Solutions, sets out an A-1 Light Industrial District in Section 627 and an A-2 Industrial District in Section 628. In the ordinance’s words, A-1 is a district of industrial uses designed to serve the needs of the community for industrial activity not offensive to nearby commercial and residential uses. The A-2 district is designed for uses with intensive use of property, open uses and/or storage, or industrial processes that may involve large amounts of materials transfer and extended or multiple shift operation.

District	Yards and outdoor storage	Trucks	Containers
A-1 Light Industrial (Section 627)	Permitted uses include freight yards, storage yards for bulk material and for equipment, and contractors equipment and supplies storage	Motor freight company warehouses are a permitted use; no separate truck or trailer parking use is listed. Areas used for truck parking, loading or unloading within 150 feet of a residence district need an 8-foot wall	No container yard use is listed. A use permit is required to install or place temporary storage containers, and their area must be screened by a solid masonry wall at least 8 feet high or so it is not visible from the property line or street
A-2 Industrial (Section 628)	Permitted uses include extensive outside uses, meaning outside activities and storage of materials as the primary use, and contractor yards and shops with storage of equipment and materials as an accessory use	Repair and service of commercial trucks over three-fourths ton rated capacity is listed with contractor yards; no separate truck or trailer parking use is listed. The same 8-foot wall rule applies to truck parking, loading or unloading areas within 150 feet of a residence district	No container use is listed

In both districts, except for vehicle parking areas, no outdoor uses, outdoor storage or open buildings may be within 75 feet of a public street, and outside storage or use within 100 feet of a residential district or a public street must be screened by a 6-foot solid fence or wall.
Open storage may be no higher than 6 feet, plus 1 foot for every additional 3 feet of setback from a property line.
Building height is capped at 56 feet in A-1 and A-2, or up to 80 feet with a use permit and a specific plan of development; the City Council may allow a warehouse up to 110 feet on a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
Each section also says no individual site in the Industrial District may be sold or leased if it is not of sufficient size to be developed under that section’s requirements.
The City’s Open Land Use information sheet lists product storage, scrap and recycling yards, tire storage and pallet storage among open land uses, and says an applicant must verify that the proposed use is allowed in the zoning district for that property.

The Phoenix Industrial Market in Q3 2026

Cushman & Wakefield’s MarketBeat Phoenix Industrial report for Q3 2026 gives these metro figures:

Inventory: 452,936,481 sq ft across five submarkets.
Vacancy: 10.3% overall, down 300 basis points from a year earlier, which the report calls the largest drop in over four years. Buildings of 300,000 sq ft or more were 5.1% vacant, against 14.6% in Q3 2025; mid-box buildings of 100,000 to 250,000 sq ft were still at 19.7%, though 340 basis points lower than a year before.
Net absorption: 4,010,118 sq ft in the third quarter and 13,595,935 sq ft year to date, already more than the full-year totals for 2023 (13.2 million sq ft) and 2025 (12.5 million sq ft).
Leasing: 8.3 million sq ft in the quarter and 23.7 million sq ft year to date, the third-strongest first three quarters of a year on record.
Asking rent: $1.16 per sq ft per month direct and $1.13 overall, triple net; both rates have risen three quarters in a row, the first such run since Q1-Q3 2022.
Completions: 9.0 million sq ft delivered over the last 12 months, 68% below the 2022-2025 annual average of 28.0 million sq ft, while net absorption over the same span was 20.5 million sq ft.
Under construction: 20.5 million sq ft, the most since mid-2024, of which 13.4 million sq ft is speculative and 7.1 million sq ft build-to-suit.

These are one firm’s figures for one quarter.

Newer quarters and other reports may differ.

The Five Phoenix Industrial Submarkets

The report’s statistics table splits the market into five submarkets, listed here by inventory:

Submarket	Inventory (sq ft)	Overall vacancy	Under construction (sq ft)
Southwest Valley	206,222,460	9.3%	10,490,741
Southeast Valley	104,543,468	15.2%	4,939,472
Airport	69,996,768	9.4%	1,390,222
Northwest Valley	57,877,264	7.4%	2,957,905
Northeast Valley	14,296,521	6.8%	740,593

The Southeast Valley led net absorption in the quarter at 1.8 million sq ft, its 25th positive quarter in a row and the first time it led the market since mid-2017. The Airport Area absorbed 428,652 sq ft, its strongest quarter since at least 2000, and its overall asking rate rose 3.2% to $1.18 per sq ft per month.

In the Southwest Valley, space under construction grew from 2.2 million sq ft in Q4 2025 to 10.5 million sq ft in Q3 2026, and the report counts over 4.3 million sq ft of signed leases there scheduled to commence in the coming quarter.

Selling a Warehouse in Phoenix: Frequently Asked Questions

Who buys warehouses directly from owners in Phoenix?

Direct buyers such as Didenko Capital. Didenko Capital buys warehouses, IOS yards, and light-industrial and flex buildings in the Phoenix area.

Can I run an IOS yard on industrial land in Phoenix?

It depends on the zoning district. Under the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, the A-1 list of permitted uses includes freight yards and storage yards for bulk material and for equipment, and the A-2 district permits outside activities and storage of materials as the primary use. Truck and trailer parking has no use listing of its own in either section; both require an 8-foot wall where areas used for truck parking, loading or unloading are within 150 feet of a residence district. No container yard use appears in either section, and the A-1 section requires a use permit to install or place temporary storage containers. Ask your attorney before counting on a use.

Where do I find the zoning of a Phoenix property?

The City’s Planning & Development Department offers My Community Map: Zoning and Permit Activities, and notes that no guarantee is given as to the accuracy or currency of the map data. The Zoning Division can give the zoning and permitted uses of industrial, commercial, office and residential properties, but only for properties incorporated into the City of Phoenix; for other jurisdictions, such as Scottsdale or Maricopa County, the City says to contact those jurisdictions.

Can I appeal the value of an industrial property in Maricopa County?

The Maricopa County Assessor says a Petition for Review of Real Property Valuation must be filed within 60 days after the Assessor mailed the Notice of Value; Arizona Revised Statutes section 42-16051 sets the same sixty-day window. An owner not satisfied with the Assessor’s decision may appeal to the State Board of Equalization within 25 days. Small claims cases, the Assessor’s handout says, can address any type of property valued under $2 million, and a court appeal must be filed by December 15 of the year the owner received the Notice of Value, or, after an administrative appeal, within 60 days of the most recent administrative decision. The handout adds that the Limited Property Value is the sole value used to calculate property taxes, and its increase is limited to 5% each year unless there has been a significant addition or deletion or a change in the property’s use.

What has to be filed with the deed when Arizona property is sold?

Arizona Revised Statutes section 11-1133 says each deed evidencing a transfer of title must have an affidavit of the seller and the buyer, or their agents, appended at the time of recording, and the county recorder shall refuse to record a deed without a complete affidavit unless it notes an exemption. The Arizona Department of Revenue’s form 82162, the Affidavit of Property Value, is used to record the selling price, date of sale and other required information about the sale. The form tells the parties, unless exempt, to complete, sign and notarize it and submit it to the County Recorder; failure to complete and attest to it is a class 2 misdemeanor.

What if an older Phoenix site has environmental history?

Environmental history is part of how we price a property, not an automatic no. Arizona Revised Statutes section 49-172 lets any person ask the state environmental department to review and approve work that addresses a release of a contaminant, by applying to the voluntary remediation program. An approved applicant that achieves the remediation levels and controls set under the program may request a no further action determination. Section 49-181 says that means no further action by the department to remediate or require remediation of the area it covers, unless the determination is rescinded or amended, for example on discovery of new information. Ask an environmental attorney or consultant about your site.
