Tempe's inventory here comes from 2 buildings — Hayden Ferry Lakeside and Wells Fargo Plaza — which together hold 16 office units. Suites run from 5 to 172 m² with a median of 40 m², so the typical Tempe deal on this page is a five- or six-desk room, not a floor.
Team growth is the constraint to plan around in Tempe: with 16 units in total and nothing on offer above 172 m², a company expecting to outgrow that ceiling inside the lease term will be looking at a second site or a move, not an expansion option in the same building.
Quoted rents in Tempe span $390 to $450 per m² a year, but the median is already $450 — identical to the upper end, which means most of the 16 units are priced as a single product rather than tiered by quality or floor. Budget at $450 per m² and treat anything near $390 as an exception to chase rather than a rate to expect.
Address matters in Tempe because the 2 buildings sit on different sides of the market: East Rio Salado Parkway follows Tempe Town Lake beside the downtown and university core, while East Broadway Road is a longer east–west commercial corridor. On a 40 m² median suite the rent gap between them is small in absolute dollars, so commute times and client access should settle the choice.
