Two large industrial projects have been proposed across the West Valley, which has several cities that are driving much of the industrial growth and demand in the Phoenix metro.
In El Mirage, a small city located just north of Glendale, Nexen DC LLC is planning to build a 537,600-square-foot facility between three buildings that will total 132,907 square feet, 172,245 square feet and 205,519 square feet.
The buildings will be developed on about 30 acres at the southwest corner of Dysart and Joe R Ramirez roads just west of a 108-acre industrial park, LogistiCenter at Copperwing.
The new speculative buildings will be used for warehouse, distribution or light manufacturing uses. The owner, California-based Nexen Properties, will occupy one of the buildings, city documents said. The buildings are expected to be completed by fall of 2023.
El Mirage City Council is scheduled to vote on a site plan for the facility on Nov. 1. The architect is listed as Ware Malcomb. Last month, another pair of industrial projects were presented to the city, including a 52,780-square-foot truss manufacturing facility, and a 216,820-square-foot warehouse.
Another Buckeye project proposed
Cardinal Capital Co. LLC, which is being represented by The Peak Group LLC, is looking to rezone about 226 acres near the southwest corner of State Route 85 and Broadway Road in Buckeye just south of Interstate 10.
The entity purchased the property about three years ago from Scottsdale-based Globe Corp. and purchased another 120 acres next to the site about a year ago, according to real estate database Vizzda.
The owner of the site is proposing to develop Cardinal Capital Industrial Park for a multi-tenant business park with a mix of light industrial, logistics and manufacturing uses. The property is currently used for agricultural operations.
Documents submitted to the city and a preliminary map show that the site could fit multiple buildings of various sizes, but say the development of the property may depend on interested users looking to develop and own or lease the buildings.
