A developer wants to put a two-story office building on 9.5 acres at Gilbert Spectrum, a multi-phase industrial park at the southwest corner of McQueen and Elliot roads.
SunCap Property Group is seeking a approval on a design plan, General Plan amendment and a rezone on 11.92 acres to light industrial use from community commercial in order to do the 60,000-square-foot Gilbert Spectrum Building 3 project. The acreage is the last remaining vacant parcel in 63.4-acre Spectrum Gilbert.
“This is a project that has had a lot of work done by OED (Office of Economic Development), with recruiting and working with the employer Northrop Grumman to work on this office expansion,” planner Noah Schumerth said at the March 1 Planning Commission study session.
“So, it’s definitely in line with some employment goals we have for the town. It’s an exciting project for the town.”
The General Plan amendment and rezoning are scheduled for formal action by the commissioners on May 5 and Town Council on June 6, according to Schumerth. Design review is expected to go to the commission for approval on June 7.
