CentrePointe Business Park to Become New American Headquarters for Beijer Electronics

SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - May 2, 2013) - Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce announced today that Beijer Electronics, Inc. signed a new lease at the CentrePointe Business Park, a research and development park in Salt Lake. Anne Smart SIOR, director with Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce, represented CentrePointe Business Park and Andy Blunt, associate with CBRE, represented Beijer in the transaction.

Beijer Electronics, based in Sweden has offices in 19 countries. It is a rapidly-growing technology company, focused on industrial automation and robust data communication. Beijer Electronics, Inc. signed an eight-year lease for 44,450 square feet of high-tech R&D space.

Beijer will join other technology based tenants in the CentrePointe Business Park such as Amedica. Going forward, CentrePointe C will soon be under construction for the Phase 11 of the project. This phase will offer approximately 107,000 SF for tenants of 25,000 SF or larger.

"The CentrePointe Business Park is an excellent fit for Beijer," Smart said. "The campus was developed from the ground up by an experienced R&D developer out of Silicon Valley as a high-end, class-A park. It has everything a sophisticated R&D company would need including lab space, heavy power, water, high-efficiency HVAC, lighting systems and access to fiber. It is also conveniently located just 10 minutes from the airport, with direct access to I-215 and Highway 201 at Redwood Road. The CentrePointe office will enable Beijer to maintain its rapid growth."
