San Antonio-based Claim Assist Solutions is making a big play in the East Valley, signing a lease for roughly 58,000 square feet at One Chandler Corporate Center in west Chandler. The company plans to move in with an initial cohort of about 40 employees starting in mid-November and says it could grow to as many as 400 hires over the next two to three years, as reported by the Business Wire.
Claim Assist first disclosed the Chandler expansion in an October press release that the firm also posted to its newsroom, describing the new site as a regional hub for claims support and account management. “Our decision to expand into Chandler is driven by both client demand and the area's strong talent pool,” President Ramon Lopez said in the announcement. The release was distributed on Business Wire and is also available on the company's site.
Space and address
The lease covers a roughly 58,000-square-foot floor plate at the Class A One Chandler Corporate Center, located at 350 N McClintock Dr. Earlier this year, that same floor had been marketed as an available, roughly 58,697-square-foot sublease, according to broker listings, and the building's two-story layout provides the kind of large, training-capable floor plates that high-volume employers tend to favor. As listed by brokers, the property sits minutes from Chandler Fashion Center and the Loop 101/202 interchange. For more on the building and its specs, see listings from JLL and Colliers.
Jobs and local reaction
The City of Chandler reports that Claim Assist will start with about 40 roles and ramp up to as many as 400 positions over two to three years, with new adjusters brought on in cohorts and put through company training. “We are excited to welcome Claim Assist Solutions to Chandler,” Mayor Kevin Hartke said, while Economic Development Director Micah Miranda noted that the expansion “reinforces that Chandler is a top destination” for companies looking for talent. Those hiring details and comments are outlined in the city's news release; see the City of Chandler for more on the local response.
Why it matters for the East Valley
The deal fills a sizable suburban vacancy and serves as a reminder that back-office and customer-service operations are still finding large, move-in-ready space in the East Valley. One Chandler was developed by VanTrust and sold in 2019 in a transaction covered by local real-estate outlets, which have highlighted the property's large floor plates along with its proximity to retail and freeway access. Those same features likely caught Claim Assist's eye. For background on the property's sale and how it is positioned in the market, see coverage from AZ Big Media.
