The Quick Jab  Bill Jabjiniak

It would be more than a slight understatement to say 2019 was a good year for economic development activity in Mesa, Arizona. Truthfully, it has been extraordinary. Thus, it is only fitting that we review some of the City’s more high-profile achievements for 2019.

JANUARY: The City of Mesa selected the contractor to build ASU @ Mesa City Center, a five-story, 118,000-square-foot academic building, as well as The Plaza @ Mesa City Center, a two to three acre gathering place in Downtown Mesa. Titan Solar, named the nation’s largest rooftop solar contractor by Solar World, opened its 36,000-square-foot corporate headquarters, newly relocated in West Mesa.

MARCH: Waymo announced a large expansion of its driverless car operations with a new 85,000-square-foot Technical Service Center in Mesa. Myndshft, a technology company specializing in blockchain and artificial intelligence in healthcare, announced it plans to quadruple its team from 28 to more than 100 employees and relocate to a new 11,000-square-foot office in the Mesa’s Falcon District. Fujifilm Electronic Materials broke ground on an 85,000-square-foot space, adding 60 new employees and five new buildings significantly expanding manufacturing, warehousing, R&D laboratory, and office space.

APRIL: Print.Save.Repeat. located two warehouses and manufacturing facilities for a total of 65,000 square feet in Mesa’s Gateway Area.

And, Potato Barn located its 100,000-square-foot store in Mesa’s Gateway Area.

JUNE: The Landing at PMG, a 281,000-square-foot Class A industrial subdivision, opened in Mesa’s Gateway Area and announced its first three tenants, Collabtech GroupHuesman Brothers Door and Custom Molding, and Russell-Sigler Inc. Nearby, Times Microwave Systems expanded its Mesa manufacturing facility to 62,000 square feet, an increase of more than five times its original size.

JULY: Google announced its intention to acquire 187 acres to build a future data center campus in Mesa’s Elliot Road Technology Corridor. AT&T opened a new 97,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art customer call center that will employ more than 500 people in West Mesa.

AUGUST: CAVU Aerospace announced it will locate an 80,000-square-foot MRO at the Landing at PMG hiring 75 employees, again in Mesa’s Gateway area.

SEPTEMBER: CenturyLink announced a major expansion of its network infrastructure in Mesa’s Gateway Area to support the growing commercial, industrial, and residential development. The Mesa Office of Economic Development launched efforts to develop a brand for Mesa’s growing Asian district. Marwest Enterprises announced Landing 202, a 605,000-square-foot Class A industrial development, on 45 acres just north of Gateway Airport. Able Aerospace, a Textron company, celebrated the opening of a $9 million, 60,000-square-foot expansion of its existing 200,000-square-foot headquarters and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) campus at the Gateway Airport. The expansion will create 100 new jobs.

OCTOBER: SkyBridge Arizona, the nation’s first and only joint U.S. and Mexican customs hub, broke ground on the first two buildings in its 360-acre, master-planned industrial development located at the southwest end of the runway at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Home2 Suites by Hilton broke ground on a four-story, 111-room hotel in the Falcon District. Ground was broken on the first building of the 1.35 million-square-foot Union, a Class A office campus located in Mesa’s Riverview District next to the Chicago Cubs spring training facility. Raging Wire received City planning and zoning approval to construct a 1.5-million-square-foot, seven-building data center campus in Mesa’s Elliot Road Technology Corridor.

North Carolina-based insulation manufacturer Greenfiber announced it will be locating a 74,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Mesa’s Gateway Area.
