ARIZONA Kitchell Development Co. has received approval from the city of Mesa’s planning and zoning board to proceed with developing the Gateway 202 Airpark, a mixed-use development. The airpark will occupy a 230-acre site just south of the Loop 202 Santan Freeway, adjacent to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Initially, Kitchell expects to create an office park, along with a hotel. At first, some buildings may be built as two-story structures, but will be constructed on foundations that will support additional stories to be added on in the future. The developer expects the airpark to eventually grow to 3.3 million sq ft of office, industrial and shopping space over 10 or 20 years. Kitchell Development Co., 1707 East Highland, Suite 100, Phoenix, 85016.
