Pollack & Company has been retained to provide an economic evaluation of the development potential of the area surrounding Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona. The study area that is the focus of this analysis is referred to as the Land Use Evaluation Area and includes approximately 33 square miles of land. Because of its large scale, the implementation of a successful development plan will be of benefit not just to the City of Mesa residents, but to the broader region as well. Analytical Framework This analysis begins with a macroeconomic assessment of the overall commercial real estate market in Metro Phoenix. The study then narrows in focus and includes an evaluation of recently released population and employment projections from the Maricopa Association of Governments on the more proximate region. This analysis concludes with the development of alternative scenarios of growth in the Southeast Valley and, more specifically, to the market area surrounding Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
