239 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2020 GLENDALE , AR I ZONA The ultimate experience for some is the Super Bowl. Glendale is a host city because of its amenity base and the projects the team is continually working with the open market to bring to Glendale, making for fan experiences year round. “Some of what’s driving all this new activity is that in 2023 we’re hosting the Super Bowl and then in 2024, we’re also hosting the NCAA Final Four Tournament,” says Glendale Economic Development Officer, Randy Huggins. “That’s another major event that fills hotels and resorts. Fifteen years ago, the Westgate area was mostly farms. Now with the stadium, the arena, the spring training facility, and the casino, we’re up over 20,000 jobs in the area, which has really driven our economy and the need for additional housing, as well. There are over 4,000 new homes in subdivisions within two miles, and another 4,000 multi-family units either under construction or in for review, all in close proximity. Six of the new apartment facilities include luxury four-story developments to meet Crystal Lagoons Island Resort Courtesy of City of Glendale Specializing in Aquisitions, Development, Asset Repositioning, Leasing, Operations and Selling of Industrial, Flex and Office Properties. 2555 East Camelback Road | Suite 180 | Phoenix, Arizona 85016 | 480-483-0360 meritpartnersinc.com Arizona’s largest developer of Industrial Real Estate
