Yet one more modern industrial facility is set to soon see construction in southern Arizona.
The commercial developer MacLaughlin & Company, which is based in Sacramento, California, wants to build a $25 million facility in the city of Surprise at the intersection of N. Dysart Road and Cactus Road.
Located nearly 30 miles to the northwest of Phoenix, Surprise in recent years has emerged as one of the nation’s fastest-growing industrial development markets.
The project will go up on 11 acres inside the Summit Business Park which the company earlier purchased and will entail the construction of a nearly 134,000 square foot facility. That park, which includes a variety of lot sizes, takes in just over 140 acres.
MacLaughlin, a property management and brokerage company, has specialized in commercial and industrial real estate projects primarily in Northern California and the Central Valley since the mid-1960s.
According to a press release issued by the company, the new Surprise project will include heavy power fire sprinklers, a 28-foot clearance height, dock and grade level loading, and “truck trailer storage and ample parking.”
Design work by Cawley Architects of Phoenix is already underway, with the actual construction expected to begin sometime this summer.
If all goes according to plans, the new facility should be complete and ready for business by early next year.
