What makes commercial moving in Tempe different?

Commercial moving in Tempe is shaped by three things most Phoenix-metro cities do not have: an active university campus, a dense waterfront office district, and a pedestrian retail street. Tempe's commercial core sits between the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway to the north and the I-10 Broadway Curve to the south, and moving an office here means working around shared loading docks in multi-tenant buildings, ASU campus access permits, and strict move windows enforced by property managers at Hayden Ferry Lakeside, Marina Heights, and other Town Lake towers.

The scale of that office market is easy to underestimate. Marina Heights, the State Farm regional campus on the Town Lake waterfront, is the largest single office development ever built in Arizona at roughly 2 million square feet. Carvana's headquarters occupies space within the same Marina Heights campus on East Rio Salado Parkway, and the Novus Innovation Corridor is adding new office blocks across 355 acres around Sun Devil Stadium. Further south, Discovery Business Campus off Elliot Road houses corporate back-office and data operations on the former Motorola site, and ASU Research Park anchors the Rural Road corridor. Each campus runs its own dock rules, badge access, and COI requirements, and Ontrack Moving schedules crews around them building by building.

Mill Avenue retail and restaurant relocations require overnight scheduling to avoid pedestrian traffic and city permit requirements for truck staging on the avenue. The McClintock Corridor between Southern and Guadalupe concentrates medical and professional offices in low-rise complexes with narrow parking lot access where 26-foot trucks need careful positioning. For all Tempe commercial moves, our climate-aware transit protocols account for Arizona's extreme heat when transporting sensitive equipment between locations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Office Moving

Common questions from Tempe businesses planning a commercial relocation.

How much does commercial moving cost in Tempe?

Commercial moving costs depend on office size, equipment complexity, floor levels, building access, and timing. ASU department moves have different requirements than Mill Avenue retail relocations. We provide free on-site surveys for accurate estimates. Contact us to schedule a walkthrough and receive a detailed quote tailored to your Tempe business relocation.

Can you move our office after business hours or on weekends?

Yes. Most Tempe commercial moves are scheduled for after-hours (starting at 6 PM) or weekends. Town Lake high-rise moves often require after-hours freight elevator access. University moves are typically coordinated during summer or winter academic breaks. We can complete many small-to-medium office moves overnight so your team is operational by Monday morning.

How quickly can you provide a Certificate of Insurance?

We provide COIs with fast turnaround during business hours. Our standard coverage includes $10M general liability and basic $0.60/lb cargo liability. If your building or campus facility requires specific endorsements (additional insured, waiver of subrogation), we can accommodate most requests. Send us the requirements and we will deliver the COI to property or campus management before your move.

Do you handle IT equipment and servers?

Yes. Our crews are trained in proper IT equipment handling including servers, switches, routers, UPS systems, and multi-monitor workstations. We use anti-static packaging, specialized server carts, and temperature-aware transport. For Tempe's tech offices and ASU research computing facilities, we coordinate with your IT team on disconnect/reconnect sequencing.

Who is the best commercial moving company in Tempe?

Ontrack Moving is a top-rated commercial mover in Tempe with a 4.9/5 rating from over 2,847+ reviews. Licensed under USDOT #2551548, we specialize in ASU department relocations, Town Lake corporate office moves, and Mill Avenue retail transfers throughout Downtown Tempe, South Tempe, and the McClintock Corridor.

How far in advance should we book a commercial move in Tempe?

For best results, book 4-8 weeks in advance. ASU department relocations should be planned around academic breaks, ideally 2-3 months ahead. This allows time for a site survey, building coordination (freight elevators, COIs, loading docks), and proper planning. Rush moves can sometimes be accommodated with 1-2 weeks notice depending on move size.

Do you disassemble and reassemble cubicles and office furniture?

Yes. Cubicle systems, modular workstations, and office furniture assembly/disassembly are standard services. Our crews are experienced with Herman Miller, Steelcase, and most major office furniture brands. We can also reconfigure layouts if you are changing your floor plan during the move. Tempe Town Lake offices and ASU-area business parks often combine cubicle systems with open-plan benching that we handle in a single move.

Do Marina Heights and Hayden Ferry Lakeside have special move-in requirements?

Yes. Town Lake towers like Marina Heights and Hayden Ferry Lakeside require a Certificate of Insurance naming the property manager as additional insured before crews can access the dock, and most restrict moves to evening freight elevator windows. Ontrack Moving carries $10,000,000 in general liability with standard $0.60/lb cargo liability per article, and emails building-specific COIs directly to property management before move day.

Moved a charity's items between storage facilities

I hired Ontrack to move a charity's items from a storage unit at one company to another company's nearby unit to avoid an imminent rate increase the charity couldn't afford. The contracting process was quick and painless. The rate was below those of other local companies and the moving crew (Dave and Pedro) was truly exceptional: on time, friendly, careful, thorough and fast and efficient because they were conscious that the work was being done for a charity that serves kids with special needs. The move was completed faster than scheduled. Everything was restacked exactly as I requested. If this review allowed ten stars I would give them to Ontrack Moving.

Office move that met all property management requirements

We used James, Adrian and Jahir for an office move. It was a very positive experience. They were on time, professional, careful and very hard working. They never slowed down, and the move was completed on time, on budget and met all the requirements of the property management company. These guys nailed it!
