Developers are lining up another shopping and dining hub in Gilbert, as Velocity Retail Group kicks off leasing at SanTan Crossing, a new restaurant-and-retail project planned at the southeast corner of Loop 202 and Williams Field Road. The roughly 20 to 21 acre site sits directly next to SanTan Village Mall and is being pitched to upscale dining concepts and national retailers, with space options ranging from smaller inline shop suites to larger restaurant pads and ground-lease outparcels.
Velocity has begun formally marketing the center to prospective tenants, emphasizing the high-visibility intersection at Williams Field Road and SanTan Village Parkway. The project's own listing from Velocity Retail Group directs would-be tenants to leasing brokers Dave Cheatham and Darren Pitts for current availability, site plans, and marketing brochures. Industry coverage from ConnectCRE notes that the project is aimed squarely at creditworthy restaurant and retail users.
Developer and site details
Accelerated Development Services is listed as the project developer and pegs the property at about 20.07 acres at the southeast corner of Williams Field Road and SanTan Village Parkway. On its project page, Accelerated Development Services describes SanTan Crossing as a build-to-suit opportunity for retail and restaurant users that sits immediately adjacent to the SanTan Village regional mall. Separate reporting on nearby land deals, including a 21 acre purchase and related broker activity detailed by The Real Deal, highlights why developers are zeroing in on this stretch of the SanTan corridor.
Spaces available for tenants
According to ConnectCRE, plans for SanTan Crossing call for about 57,402 square feet of restaurant and retail pad space plus approximately 21,900 square feet of inline shop space, with inline suites generally expected to range from roughly 1,000 to 6,000 square feet. Commercial listings on LoopNet break out multiple pad configurations, note timing considerations, and flag build-to-suit options for tenants that want to tailor a footprint.
What this means for the SanTan corridor
The leasing push lands in the middle of a bigger building boom around SanTan Village. The $145 million Signature at SanTan Village project, anchored by Whole Foods and DICK'S House of Sport, is already slated for the corridor, as covered by inBusinessPHX. Layer in the 21 acre land purchase and related broker interest documented by The Real Deal, and it starts to look like national operators are treating this corner of Gilbert as prime territory rather than suburban fringe.
Leasing and next steps
Leasing is now underway, with Velocity Retail Group handling the assignment and naming Dave Cheatham and Darren Pitts as the primary contacts. The brokerage is offering a downloadable brochure with site details and floor plates, while listings on LoopNet show that the property first hit the market in October 2025 and outline various pad availabilities with some offerings pointing to March 2027 timing.
