In this brief YouTube short, two speakers discuss a vacant industrial parcel in Phoenix that is designated as an Opportunity Zone. They note the site’s physical characteristics—electric and barbed‑wire fencing, automatic gates, LED lighting—and speculate that the city likely owns the land. Google Maps shows the property has been empty since 2024. Its recent history includes uses as a truck storage facility after COVID and earlier as a car and RV storage lot. The speakers also observe that the surrounding auto‑mall industry is in decline, with many car lots moving away, suggesting a potential redevelopment opportunity for the parcel.

Are you a land shark doing deals? Industrial, right? And so it says city Phoenix surface, electric and barbed wire fence, automatic gates, LED, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's in Opportunity Zone land. That's cool. I think the other side to this would be that we would need to find out who the owner is. And I've got a good guess that the owner's the city.
Yeah, and I looked on Google Maps and it's been vacant since 2024, I'm pretty sure, but it never gave a statement of previous ownership. But I'm pretty sure after COVID it was a truck storage, before then it was a car and RV storage. So we're kind of switched around over time.
Car lots over there, there's a lot of car lots over there, but they're moving away. That, that auto mall industry over there is shutting down and moving away. So there's, there's potential to play around here.
