Saint Holdings LLC. No Longer A Low-Profile


Jackob Andersen, Saint’s president and CEO, personally involved in bringing big economic development projects to the State of Arizona and Pinal County, by arranging land deals and acquiring rights-to-water, apparently likes the spotlight. All those BIG LAND DEALS have not gone un-noticed - or publicized - including getting put into the spotlight by your MesaZona blogger.
"We are one of the largest land owners and developers in the state of Arizona,”
---- Rose Law Group Reporter 17 May 2019
That's the outcome for the power-wielding influence from the Saints' control in the established intersection of Finance, Religion and Politics
Its holdings include:
  • Heritage Arizona: an 11,438-acre development in Coolidge slated for many land uses including commercial, residential and renewable energy developments.
  • Saint has also developed the 2,700 acre Inland Port Arizona. The Inland Port has direct railroad access and is modeled after Union Pacific’s hub in Salt Lake City. The Inland port is  home to the planned Nikola plant which landed there after originally looking to locate in Buckeye.
  • Central Arizona Commerce Park: a nearly 700-acre industrial park with shovel-ready parcels. The Casa Grande development is in an Opportunity Zone offering tax breaks for real estate and business investments. The project Is directly served by Union Pacific railroad. Lucid Motors and Tractor Supply Co. have located at the Casa Grande park.
  • The latter involves 360 job at a regional center.
  • Andersen said that deal was born in Nashville when he was at their headquarters to finalize contracts or agricultural products and ended up meeting with TSC executives about a western expansion.
