Anyone driving on the southwestern stretch of Loop 101 in the West Valley will see plenty of shovels in the ground as the corridor is becoming one of the Valley’s most rapidly evolving areas.
The biggest attractions are the coming Mattel theme park and VAI Resort, which is centered around a man-made beach, in Glendale. In total in the six-mile stretch of Glendale and Phoenix, there will be thousands of homes and jobs added in offices, retail, restaurants and experiential businesses. There are well over 1,000 acres under construction or planned for construction.
“Right now, just in the Westgate Sports and Entertainment District, there’s $1.5 billion worth of commercial development happening in that area with over half a billion in planning,” said Glendale Economic Development Officer Christian Green.
