杜克大学（Duke）拥有715,000平方英尺的空间，与中国太阳能技术机构Suntech Power Holdings执行了租赁，预计今年夏天将进入该开发项目。杜克大学还曾在Goodyear Crossing与Macys和Amazon.com合作。

And Kevin Rogus is a grateful senior vice president.

罗格斯（Rogus）从辛辛那提（Cincinnati）的主要公爵房地产办公室来到山谷，于2007年1月开设了商店。任务是创建一个西方枢纽。很快，在西雅图和南加州成立了办公室。

罗格斯说：``我们来到这里是因为华尔街想要我们。''罗格斯说。``我们在中西部和东部投资了大量投资对华尔街的意义。现在是时候扩展到一个增长市场了。

到2007年底，凤凰办公室已与Amazon.com合作，在地铁区西侧的第67大道和七叶树路的产品履行中心合作。

Duke Realty喜欢开发和拥有工业，办公室和医疗物业，但Rogus说：``我们的初恋是工业。''

In its first Valley deal, Duke acquired 600,000 sq ft from the Alter Group at the Buckeye Logistics Center, where Amazon.com leased space by the end of 2007.

The company also has a total of 715,000 sq ft of space at Goodyear Crossing, where it sold land to Macy�s for an online fulfillment center. And, Amazon.com leased space there last year, as well.

Rogus谈到Amazon.com时说：``我们很幸运，很高兴建立这种关系。”它在全国范围内在杜克大学的投资组合中排名第二，美国总服务管理局排名第一。

Duke Realty还与中国太阳能技术制造商Suntech Power Holdings合作，预计今年夏天将进入固特异的过境点。

�我们曾与凤凰城经济Counc就越大il, who made the introduction between us, and the city of Goodyear was instrumental in bringing Suntech to our building,� Rogus says.

Duke acquired a fully leased, 250,000-sq-ft property � also at 67th Avenue and Buckeye Road � several months ago. The property, informally called Estrella Buckeye, brings the company�s Phoenix holdings to 1.9 million sq ft.

通过所有这一切，与其他开发商一样，杜克大学不得不在经济不良。就其部分而言，凤凰办公室不得不关闭西雅图和南加州的办公室。

Rogus说：“这个行业中的所有同行都在建立36个月前，好像没有明天。``我们不得不扩大我们的期望，并且比某些人要好。''

Richard Hubbard, CEO and president of Valley Partnership, a Maricopa County organization that promotes responsible commercial real estate development, says that he expects great things from Duke Realty. �When the market rebounds, you�ll see Duke become a major Valley developer,� he says. �We aggressively recruited them. They�re a traditional, established company, and I think the decision to come out here and enter this market showed an entrepreneurship and willingness to take a risk.�

罗格斯（Rogus）也以企业家的方式想到了凤凰办公室，他说杜克（Duke Realty）在山谷中租赁了96％的租赁，在全国范围内租用了90％。

他说：``巨大的财富与辛勤的工作相结合，有时会发生好事。''他指的是像Amazon.com这样的客户和他的六人组员工，该员工与Duke Realty合并了100年。
