Mesa Mayor John Giles said: “This project and SkyBridge’s investment will create the kind of long-term economic sustainability that has been envisioned for Gateway Airport for nearly 25 years.

“Today’s signing of the master development agreement clears the next hurdle and moves us closer to bringing thousands of high-wage jobs to the Phoenix East Valley.”

Once completed, the aerospace park could encompass up to 5 million square feet of offices, warehouses, and logistics/cargo, hospitality, and retail spaces.

It is expected to serve as an air logistics hub focused on transporting high-value goods and accelerate the movement of air cargo between Mexico, Latin America and the US.
