DAUM places Cosic Logistics in 164,000 SF Avondale expansion
Cosic Logistics leased the remaining space in Building 3 at 101 at Van Buren in Avondale, Arizona, bringing its total occupancy at the campus to approximately 265,000 square feet and taking the building to full occupancy. DAUM represented Cosic Logistics in the transaction.

A 6.35-acre crane-served site trades in Round Rock
The property at 2336 Picadilly Drive includes a 10,359-square-foot crane-served shop, an 11,372-square-foot office complex, heavy-duty crane infrastructure, drive-through access and outdoor yard capacity near the I-35 and SH-45 interchange. It is now being marketed for lease.
Matthews Real Estate Investment Services handled the transaction, with Jeff Miller, Vice President and Associate Director, Dylan Servais, Associate, and Josh Cook on the team.
Scale, clustering and tenant quality are doing the work
The financing shows that lenders will underwrite IOS as diversified logistics infrastructure when the portfolio has scale and geographic depth. Atlanta shows the platform strategy at the local level, while Round Rock shows why specialized improvements and transportation access can command attention even when price is undisclosed.
Practical takeaway: Aggregation improves financing optionality, but site-level scarcity still creates the strongest leasing and disposition stories.
