Casa Grande Warehouse Fills Up Fast as Pinal County's Industrial Boom Accelerates

A speculative industrial building in Casa Grande has reached full occupancy, with four tenants now filling every square foot of the newly built warehouse less than an hour southeast of central Phoenix. The milestone caps a project that broke ground without a single signed lease in hand, betting instead on central Arizona's surging demand for industrial space.

Casa Grande's PhoenixMart Ruins Seek New Life as Tech Center

510 E Florence Blvd. — Reported Site of PhoenixMart Amendment Consideration. More than 14 years after it was first announced as an international trade hub, the unfinished PhoenixMart site in rural Pinal County now stands as what ABC15 Arizona describes as a skeleton of concrete and metal bones. Its developer, AZ Sourcing LLC, wants to give part of that stalled land a new identity: the Casa Grande Tech Center.

PhoenixMart Site May Become Latest Tech Center

Part of the site of PhoenixMart, one of the most notable development failures in Pinal County, may soon be converted for use as a new industrial technology center. PhoenixMart was planned as a major international trade and commercial wholesalers’ hub as far back as 2011, according to a local news article. After breaking ground in 2013, the project encountered multiple financial, construction and legal problems, including a 2015 FBI raid on the owners’ headquarters, all of which led to its subsequent cancelation.

10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants close in 4 states as franchisee files Chapter 11

Out West Restaurant Group closed 10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Nevada before filing for Chapter 11. Few moments unsettle a regular diner faster than pulling into a familiar parking lot and finding the windows dark and the doors locked. Casual chain restaurants hold a particular place in American routines. Families book them for birthdays, teams pile in after weekend games, and tired couples treat them as dependable fallbacks when nobody wants to cook. A shuttered location erases one of those habits without warning. The loss leaves nearby guests wondering whether their own favorite spot will go next. Workers lose the shifts they counted on. Each closing ripples past the people who used to order dinner there.
