Article originally posted on Phoenix Business Journal on July 18, 2023

Unical Aviation Inc., a leading aircraft parts and components provider, has relocated its corporate global headquarters out of the greater Los Angeles area to the Phoenix metro with plans to hire 80 new employees. Unical, which serves the global commercial aerospace market, started moving into the newly developed Falcon Park 303 facility in Glendale earlier this year after securing a full-building lease in 2022.

The facility totals about 600,000 square feet and is located near Camelback Road and 152nd Avenue just south of Luke Air Force Base near other employers FedEx, Best Buy, XPO Logistics and near the Loop 303. In addition to housing its corporate operations, Unical will use the warehouse to store 85 million aircraft parts and components and is expected to start filling customer orders and shipping from Glendale this summer.

It is also looking at adding Part 145 repair operations at the location in addition to its existing 80,000-square-foot Part 145 repair station in Mesa. Between its Glendale and Mesa locations, Unical will employ about 250 people total including the 70 to 80 new employees it plans to hire across warehouse, finance, aircraft repair, human resources and IT positions.

Unical is the first tenant for Falcon Park 303, which includes a second building that totals about 326,018 square feet and was developed by St. Louis-based US Capital Development. Andy Markham, Mike Haenel and Phil Haenel of Cushman & Wakefield are the leasing brokers for the industrial project.

“This lease reflects the continued strong demand for high quality industrial space in the region, and particularly from larger users,” said Mike Haenel, a vice chairman at Cushman & Wakefield, in a statement sent to the Phoenix Business Journal.
