Disclosure: Rose Law Group represents Saint Land Holdings

A maker of zero-emissions heavy trucks has completed a land purchase in central Arizona where it will begin manufacturing production in 2022 and eventually employ an estimated 2,000 people.
Phoenix-based Nikola Motor Co. announced the purchase of roughly 400 acres of raw land in Coolidge from Saint Holdings, without citing a price. Nikola plans to build hydrogen-electric trucks at the facility.
The land is located in the Inland Port Arizona industrial park, which is served by rail connections.
Nikola is a privately owned company that currently employs about 80 people at an office near Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. It designs and manufactures hydrogen-electric vehicles, electric-vehicle drivetrains, components, energy-storage systems and hydrogen stations.
