Martens Development, a Scottsdale-based development firm, and its general contracting partner Willmeng Construction broke ground on a Class A industrial development, Mission Park.

This two-building, 723,508-square-foot Class A industrial park is at Interstate 10 and Perryville Road in Buckeye, which is an emerging industrial submarket.

“This project marks the entry point to the city, and we are proud to deliver an iconic project in such a strategic location,” said Martens Development Principal David Martens. “Buckeye’s pro-growth mentality was critical to this project’s ground-breaking, and we thank everyone involved in making this day happen.”

Joining Martens Development and Willmeng at the groundbreaking event were Buckeye Mayor Eric Orsborn, Buckeye Deputy City Manager and Economic Development Director David Roderique and Suzanne Boyles from the City of Buckeye Economic Development Department.

Also on hand was Sintra Hoffman, president & CEO of Westmarc.

“We are all thrilled to see things moving on this great project, Mission Park, because when dirt starts flying, good things happen for the city, but most importantly, for our residents,” Orsborn said.

Mission Park was designed by Dale Couture and the team at Ware Malcomb. Kimley-Horn’s Traver Jones is the civil engineer on the project, and leasing is being led by the CBRE team of Kevin Cosca, Cooper Fratt, and John Werstler.

Work on the two buildings at Mission Park is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2024. The North building is 196,353 square feet with 32-foot clear heights, and 6000 amps of power. The South building is much larger, at 527,155 square feet with 40-foot clear heights, and 6000 amps of power.

Martens Development designed Mission Park to be an ideal location for a variety of end users and able to accommodate small to large-scale tenants.
