Area officials anticipate a promising foundation set in 2013 will provide the town of Gilbert room to continue its expansion for the next 12 months.
Town Manager Patrick Banger said the year should start off with the groundbreaking for the Rivulon office complex sometime this month. What makes the project so unique for Gilbert is the scope of it, as Banger said the 3.1 million-square-foot complex will more than double the town’s current office space.
Also set to break ground in 2014 is the St. Xavier University in Gilbert’s Heritage District. Announced in 2013, the Chicago-based educational institution will give the town its very first four-year university, although it might not be the only option in town for very long.
