A 17-acre mixed-used development at the northeast corner of Ellsworth Road and Elliot Road in Mesa, Ariz., is poised to take off in a huge way. The Elliot Tech Corridor, which will include Apple, Edgecore, Amazon, Dignity Health and Google, among many others, will now also be the site of the $800-million Facebook data center recently announced. The development is directly north of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, a hub to over 1.5 million travelers annually. There is only one “hard” corner for retail at the front of the Tech Corridor and it’s located at East Gate Plaza.
The developer directly in front of it is Diversified Partners, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., and it has plans for East Gate Plaza to include retail, hospitality, medical and office components. The Plaza is across Elliot Road from the planned Facebook facility. Diversified Partners closed escrow on the land in August 2021.
East Gate Plaza is also adjacent to Eastmark, the number one master-planned community in Arizona, with 15,000 homes at completion. Ellsworth Road has the highest traffic volume in the City of Mesa, which has a population of 538,146.
