Phoenix Shipping Container Apartment Community On The Block
One of the more unusual recent multifamily developments in Phoenix, Containers on Grand, a sustainable apartment community made of repurposed shipping containers, is up for sale.
The Downtown Phoenix project was the first shipping container community in the western U.S., and is thought to be the only shipping container community in the country currently on the market.
At Grand and 12th avenues in the Grand Avenue Arts District, Containers on Grand includes eight 740 SF one-bedroom apartments. Each unit is made of two former shipping containers, and all of the units are occupied.
The property was developed in 2015 by Scottsdale-based architectural firm StarkJames LLC (Brian Stark and Wesley James) in partnership with Karl Obergh with the Phoenix engineering firm Ritoch-Powell and Associates, and Bloomspot LLC (Kathleen Santin).
Brian Smuckler and Jeff Seaman of CBRE’s Phoenix Multifamily Investment Properties team will spearhead the sales effort for the property.
