Construction has broken ground on the Elliot Tech Center in Mesa, Arizona. Thompson Thrift began working on the 1 million-square-foot retail and industrial campus that will span 75 acres and include eight industrial and retail buildings.
The project is situated east of Meta’s Mesa Data Center, currently under development. It is also north of Apple’s Global Command Center, and northeast of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. The first phase of the development will consist of three industrial structures. Additionally, the floor spaces will range from 79,000 to 89,000 square feet. Furthermore, there will be five retail pads. It is expected to be finished in the fall of 2023.

The leasing for the development’s industrial components is being handled by Ken McQueen and Chris McClurg of Lee & Associates, and Phoenix Commercial Advisors is in charge of promoting the retail portion. In addition, Butler Design Group and general contractor Clayco are members of the design-build team. The complete development’s timing was not made public.
“Although the official start of construction is marked by the ceremony held today, we would be remiss if we failed to recognize the enormous effort put forward by the City. Further, we appreciate the different stakeholders who got us to this point. We are excited to be working on a project that will extend the possibilities available to businesses looking to establish or grow in Mesa, “the managing partner of Thompson Thrift Commercial, Ashlee Boyd, stated.
“The Gateway neighborhood, which is a significant economic engine for the East Valley, keeps growing. The Elliot Tech Center is a wonderful addition that will provide the aerospace/aviation, electric vehicle, semiconductor, and high-tech manufacturing companies that continue to select Mesa as a location with essential industrial space “said John Giles, mayor of Mesa.
