— Auto Glass Repair Company and Developer Cut Ribbon On New Tucson Home

TUCSON, AZ, June 1, 2012 – Safelite AutoGlass®, the nation’s leading provider of vehicle glass repair and replacement services, announced the opening of its new onsite repair center, office and distribution facility in Tucson at 6855 S. Lisa Frank Ave. The onsite repair area features access to thousands of in-stock glass parts. The 33,311 square feet of space is located at Rockefeller Group Distribution Center/Tucson and was developed with The Rockefeller Group. The building is LEED Silver-certified, which is important to Safelite’s sustainability initiatives. Safelite has applied to have their interior improvements LEED-certified as well.

“Today is an exciting day for Safelite as we continue our expansion into Tucson in this beautiful new space The Rockefeller Group developed,” said Paul Hunt, Real Estate Manager, Safelite® Group, Inc. “The Greater Tucson area is a key market for us and I’m proud to say we will be here for a long time serving the community’s auto glass repair needs.”

The site is ideal for the company because of its proximity to the Tucson Airport and the I-10 and I-19 freeways.

“With both Safelite and Towne Air Freight occupying more than 45 percent of the building, we believe we have two terrific anchor tenants that will draw other companies to the Rockefeller Group Distribution Center,” said Mark Singerman, Regional Director of RGDC’s Arizona office. “Interest in Tucson is on the rise and Safelite’s commitment to the area shows that.”

Safelite relocated from existing space in Tucson and expanded into a portion of the 114,000 sf state-of-the-art distribution building.
