PHOENIX — Another commercial real estate development is taking shape in the Loop 303 corridor as U.S. Merchants acquired a new industrial facility in Glendale.

The facility is a 637,040-square-foot space near Reems Road and Northern Avenue south of Northern Parkway and north of Luke Air Force Base.

The purchase is one of several buildings planned for a development called the Cubes at Glendale, according to the Phoenix Business Journal.

Williams-Sonoma also signed a lease in the Cubes for a 1.2 million-square-foot space last year.

U.S. Merchants said that they were also considering a space in Goodyear before deciding on the Glendale location.

The company is planning to use the facility for manufacturing, packaging and distribution and is expected to hire between 600 and 700 people.

They expect to be operational in the next few months, according to Phoenix Business Journal.

The company is known for manufacturing Greenmade  storage crates used by packaging and distributing assorted goods.
