If it seems like a lot of industrial buildings have been going up in southeast Mesa the last few years, your eyes are not deceiving you: the region is one of the top places in the country for new industrial development.
According to a report by commercial real estate broker Cushman & Wakefield, the area surrounding Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport has the fourth-largest industrial building pipeline of any sub-region in the United States.
It’s home to over 13 million square feet of industrial space currently in the construction process.
It’s not hard to find examples of mega industrial projects moving forward in Mesa.
Earlier this year, Mesa City Council approved the first two phases of an industrial development called The Block at Sossaman and Elliot roads.
