Daum Commercial and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Announce Groundbreaking of Gateway Executive Airpark in Mesa, AZ

 

Rendering of planned Gateway Executive Airpark, Mesa, AZ

 PHOENIX, AZ – DAUM Commercial Real Estate Services has announced the groundbreaking of Gateway Executive Airpark, a three-hangar development totaling more than 185,500 square feet at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona.

Gateway Executive Airpark, which is now leasing and will be available for occupancy by Q4, is a state-of-the-art, full-service hangar facility including multi-tenant and freestanding hangars, according to Steve McKendry, Principal and Executive Vice President at DAUM Commercial, who is an exclusive listing agent for the property alongside DAUM Executive Vice Presidents Chris Rogers and Trevor McKendry.

“Private jet services for both business and leisure travel have proven to be much more resilient than commercial airlines throughout the pandemic,” says Steve McKendry.

“A year on, many corporations still do not want their executive teams flying commercial airlines, and individuals are placing safety first and considering private flights when they never would have previously. 

"Business aviation has improved 30% from this time a year ago, about 8% less than pre-pandemic 2019. 

"The improvement is due to not only safety issues but is reflective of economies opening up and travel restrictions being removed. In contrast, scheduled airline activity is down about 18% from this time in 2020 and 44% from 2019.”

Steve adds that COVID-19-related hesitancy will continue for several months, possibly years. Unrelated trends, including a such a shortage of first-class seats as airlines redesign their interiors, could also make private jet travel more appealing.

Trevor McKendry

“Despite the unprecedented challenges faced this past year, this is still an ideal time to strategically deliver a development like the Gateway Executive Airpark to the greater Phoenix market,” explains Rogers.

“Major corporations, including Microsoft, Google, and Apple, are expanding in the area, driving potential demand for executive travel.

"There has also been an influx of development of new aeronautical facilities near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in particular, bringing additional business to the submarket.”

Advantages of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport location of this project also include reduced taxes and lower operating costs through unique tax programs and incentives.

“While we are anticipating strong local demand from large corporations and high-net-worth individuals, this space could also be attractive to private jet owners and branded charter services based elsewhere,” adds Trevor.

Chris Rogers

“For instance, even with the additional travel required, the significantly lower rental rates and tax incentives make holding aircrafts at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport approximately 70% less than anywhere in Southern California.”

The hangars are constructed with steel frame infrastructure, metal exterior walls and metal roof. The steel frame infrastructure provides clear span bays necessary for aircraft maneuvering.

Additionally, Gateway Executive Airpark features office space built to suit tenant’s requirements, LED overhead lighting with on/off motion sensors in hangars, sealed concrete floors and hangar doors 28’ high with widths spanning 90’ to 110’.

Developed to accommodate the increasing demand trend for the larger long range business jets, the dimensions of the hangar bays and hangar doors at Gateway Executive Airpark will accommodate larger jets, such as the new Gulfstream 700, multiple aircraft, and other aviation uses such as maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations.

Steve adds: “As part of our involvement with this project, we’ve been keeping our finger on the pulse of the hangar space market to truly understand the demand drivers and current local market.

Only in recent years have hangars been designed for larger executive jets, which has resulted in a market that currently has very little availability of hangars designed to accommodate long-range executive jets.”

Situated adjacent to Textron’s Citation Service Center and Embraer Executive Jet Service Center, Gateway Executive Airpark is located at 5559 S. Sossaman Road in Mesa, Arizona.

CT Realty Developing 3.2 Million-SF Logistics Park in Jacksonville, FL

Seda Preston 

  Newport Beach, CA and Dallas, TX –– CT Realty, in joint venture with Diamond Realty Investments, announces the acquisition of 250 acres of industrial land for the development of an eight-building, 3.2 million-square-foot, state-of-the-art logistics park in Jacksonville, FL.

  The project further extends CT Realty’s presence in the Southeast U.S. as the company breaks ground on 10 million square feet of logistics projects in 2021.

Guy Preston 

 “This is an outstanding opportunity to create a first-class industrial park capable of accommodating the largest users in the Southeast, and we’re thrilled to embark on a long-term, multi-year commitment to the region,” said Rob Huthnance, who oversees all of CT’s developments in the Eastern U.S.

 

The first phase of the project is underway with 1.7 million square feet in three buildings, representing the largest spec development in Jacksonville and including one of only two spec million-square-foot buildings in development statewide.

 

CT is bullish on Jacksonville’s established logistics transportation infrastructure, proximity to a significant and growing regional consumer base and the strength of the labor pool in Jacksonville, all key factors in serving the needs of area logisticians, distribution companies and e-commerce users.

Rob Huthnance

The area’s robust logistics transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), which handles the highest container volume of the four ports serving Florida.

 

JAXPORT is in the midst of a major dredging project that, upon completion in 2022, will create the deepest port on the East Coast, capable of serving high-capacity New Panamax container ships.    

 

“The combination of the project’s proximity to the most active port complex in Florida coupled with the ability to reach 61 million consumers in a day’s truck drive creates a compelling opportunity for companies in the logistical supply chain,” said Huthnance.

Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT)

“Add in the nearby CSX and Norfolk Southern intermodal rail yards, and the air cargo facilities at Jacksonville International Airport and the project is poised to meet any goods transit need.”   

 

The project will be located in Northwest Jacksonville on Pritchard Road, approximately three and one-half miles west of I-295.

 

The site is adjacent to Southeast Toyota Distributors, the world’s largest independent Toyota distributor and the seller in the land transaction.

 

Guy and Seda Preston of Colliers International represented both Southeast Toyota Distributors and CT in the transaction, the terms of which are undisclosed.
