The Mangat Group announced plans to expand its industrial development footprint of new flex industrial space across four locations in the West Valley. The project builds on the previously announced MG Business Park and responds to increasing demand from small- to mid-sized businesses seeking flexible office and warehouse space in one of Arizona’s fastest-growing regions.
The Mangat Group expects to invest more than $250 million across the four planned developments. The first project, located on Glendale Avenue and New River Road, is entering its second phase of development and will include 71 units totaling approximately 93,000 square feet. A second development adjacent to the site will feature 31 units across 84,000 square feet. In Laveen, a project on the northwest corner of Baseline Road and Loop 202 will include 28 units totaling about 75,000 square feet. A fourth development in Buckeye, located at Watson Road and MC 85, will feature 89 units across approximately 175,000 square feet.
Each project will deliver modern small-bay industrial spaces featuring a small office paired with rear warehouse functionality.
“Small businesses are often overlooked when it comes to industrial real estate,” said Tony Mangat, founder and CEO of The Mangat Group. “Most developers focus on large warehouses. We’re building flex space that allows small businesses to own their space, grow their operations, and build long-term stability.”
The expansion comes amid strong demand for small-bay industrial space nationwide. Industrial buildings under 50,000 square feet have a vacancy rate between 3% and 5%, significantly lower than large-format logistics facilities. However, most new industrial construction continues to focus on warehouses larger than 100,000 square feet, leaving limited inventory available for smaller businesses.
“Phoenix continues to be one of the most active industrial markets in the country,” said Mangat. “Population growth, semiconductor manufacturing investments, and expanding logistics infrastructure are driving demand across the West Valley. With this growth comes the need for new businesses to operate in flexible spaces. Flex industrial developments like ours are filling that missing middle.”
RKAA Architects is serving as the project architect, with Bowman providing civil engineering services. KCB Contracting will serve as the general contractor, with Mangat Construction supporting project delivery as the construction arm of The Mangat Group.
