Construction has started in Tempe on a major tech space project called I.D.E.A., or Innovation, Discovery, Education and Arts.
City of Tempe Economic Development Program Manager Maria Laughner said the project covers 18 acres and more than 1 million square feet for biotech and technology companies that want to set up shop in Tempe.
“We’re looking to build 1.2 million square feet of Class A office, research and development space to promote innovation and discoveries,” Laughner said.
The I.D.E.A. project will house clean industrial jobs, according to Laughner.
