CHANDLER, AZ – Growing custom jewelry firm, Origami Owl (origamiowl.com), has leased 147,486 square feet of space at 10 Chandler Business Park, located along the east side of Interstate 10 between Chandler Boulevard and Ray Road.

These leases brought the park to 62 percent occupancy.
“10 Chandler offered the ideal location for this tenant, providing multi-purpose space in a prestigious corporate environment,” says Jackie Orcutt, Director with Cushman & Wakefield. “While these landlords are best known for their relationships with national and international corporations, this property is now home to multiple dynamically growing local corporations that operate throughout Arizona and beyond.” 10 Chandler also houses such corporations as Paradise Bakery, Toshiba, Eaton Corporation and CloudBlue Technology.
10 Chandler Business Park is owned by a partnership between Alliance Commercial Properties and American Realty Advisors on behalf of their clients.

A 14-year-old entrepreneur named Isabella “Bella” Weems, who simply wanted to make enough money to buy a car when she turned 16, started the Origami Owl company approximately three years ago. Origami Owl has grown into a significant social marketing jewelry corporation. Origami Owl jewelry is known for its “Living Lockets” product that allows individuals to fill a clear locket with charms of personal choice.
