Goodyear AirPark is a 267-acre blank slate ready for development that could eventually add 4,000 new jobs to the region, according to an expert working with the owner to develop the site.
The AirPark property was bought about 20 years ago by Phoenix-based Carefree Partners Investments LLC, an investment and real-estate development company.
When it bought the land, Goodyear was a small city with not much development.
Carefree Partners waited until now to develop the property due to market conditions and because other major employers, such as Amazon, Subzero and Dick’s have come to Goodyear.
The unoccupied site has the potential to add 4 million square feet of office, industrial, flex and research space to Goodyear, said Anthony Lydon, national director of Industrial Supply Chain and Logistics Solutions, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas Inc.
