Phoenix’s recent industrial projects

Phoenix led the Western markets for industrial development, with 54.5 million square feet under construction as of March, a recent CommercialEdge report shows. The value accounted for 15.7 percent of the existing stock.

The metro’s new developments include Rehrig Pacific’s injection molding manufacturing plant in Buckeye, Ariz. Expected to open in early 2024, the 260,000-square-foot facility could be expanded by as much as 500,000 square feet.

In April, two companies received significant incentives for the development of some 2.5 million square feet of industrial space near Loop 202. IDM Cos. plans to build a 1.2 million-square-foot industrial park, while Leon Capital Group’s future campus will comprise four buildings across 82 acres.
