This will bring
their new building deliverables at the development to one-half-million square
feet, with space targeting air cargo, e-commerce, manufacturing and aviation
and defense specialists.
“The East
Valley is metro Phoenix’s new frontier for aerospace, advanced manufacturing
and logistics growth, which makes it a very exciting time to build here,” said
Ariel Picker, President of SkyBridge Arizona and SkyBridge Plus
Development.

“We appreciate the collective effort it takes
to bring a Class A mixed-use project like this to life, and look forward to all
that SkyBridge will do to serve its future tenants and streamline the
U.S.-Mexico logistics chain.”
“Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport applauds the start of this exciting project,” said O’Neill. “Every groundbreaking and every ribbon cutting within SkyBridge Arizona represents new jobs and a positive impact on our regional economy.”
In addition to
providing immediate access to Gateway Airport, Building 109 will
feature 32’ clear height, a 7” reinforced slab on 4” AMC, 30 dock-high and
6 ground-level doors, and generous power and parking.

The building is divisible to approximately 80,000 square feet, allowing it to serve a wide range of tenant types and sizes.
“The Southeast
Valley is courting over 13 million square feet of active users in the
market. This next phase of SkyBridge Arizona welcomes tenants from
aerospace and tech-related manufacturing to cargo and logistics companies
catering to the local market or looking to take advantage of the unified cargo
process,” said CBRE Senior Vice President Jackie Orcutt.
“We are excited
to be working with SkyBridge on another Class A industrial development for the
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway submarket!”

When complete,
SkyBridge will be the nation’s first cargo hub with a joint U.S.-Mexico Customs
inspection facility on site.
The project is
slated for 1.3 million square feet of aeronautical development, almost 2.2
million square feet of non-aeronautical development and 270,000 square feet of
commercial retail and office development.
On behalf of
SkyBridge, Graycor has already completed 134,500 square feet of space in two
buildings at the Gateway Airport site.

The second is a 52,000-square-foot flex
industrial building with 24’ clear height, storefront entries, administrative
offices, conference and break areas, and a warehouse component with up to four
docks. Both buildings are fully leased.
“It was our pleasure to deliver the very first buildings at SkyBridge and we’re honored and excited to build the next,” said Rusty Martin, Graycor Construction Company’s Southwest Division General Manager.

The SkyBridge
master-planned development is located along the southwest portion of the runway
at Gateway Airport.
It is slated to become a first-of-its-kind
Unified Cargo Processing (UCP) facility, allowing users to complete on-site
cargo inspections and processing so that shipments between the U.S. and Mexico
can be expedited directly to their destinations in Mexico.
