The Mesa Gateway Airport Authority voted to terminate a development lease at their Jan. 21 meeting after plans for an expansion project fell through.
The airport is operated by the MGAA, which consists of representation from Apache Junction, Mesa, Queen Creek, Gilbert and the Gila River Indian Community.
According to board documents, MGAA and Mesa SkyBridge LLC had agreed to “spin out” from property from a 2018 master lease into development leases for projects ready for vertical development. A development lease was in effect for Lot 116-B in 2023 that would have consisted of two buildings collectively consisting of around 36,000 square footage on 4 acres, but that project is no longer moving forward.
