The Opus Group (Opus) announced today plans to build a speculative industrial project in the Longbow Business Park and Golf Club in Mesa.
Construction on the 147,672-square-foot project, named Longbow Gateway One, is slated to begin this month, with project completion scheduled for January 2018.
“We are excited to develop this project in the Southeast Valley, as we look to capitalize on the steady demand in the market from a variety of users,” said Sean Cummings, vice president, real estate development, Opus Development Company, L.L.C.
“We are designing the building with maximum flexibility in mind to meet the needs of users of all sizes.”Located near the southeast corner of Higley Road and Longbow Parkway, the industrial development offers prime proximity to the 2 million-square-foot Boeing Co. manufacturing facility, which makes AH-64E Apache attack helicopters.
Other nearby businesses include the Falcon Field Airport.
Longbow Business Park and Golf Club is a mixed-use commercial development, which features the Longbow Golf Club, alongside planned office, industrial, retail and hotel spaces.
