XNRGY Climate Systems is cranking up its presence in Mesa, turning a fresh East Valley foothold into a full-on manufacturing campus. The company's Mesa 1 plant, at roughly 275,000 square feet, wrapped a fast-track construction cycle and is now up and running, and the site is already pulling in industry attention. The project sits inside the Gateway East business park near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and is helping drive a surge of industrial development on the airport's east side.
According to Phoenix Business Journal, Mesa 1 went up in about 12 months and landed on the paper's Project of the Year finalists list. That kind of speed and scale is not exactly common in Arizona's crowded industrial race, which is part of why the facility stood out.
Made fast, built for scale
In an April 2025 press release, XNRGY said the Mesa 1 facility officially started production on May 1, 2025 and serves as the company’s U.S. headquarters. The company said Mesa 1 opened with roughly 130 employees on the floor, with plans to add many more as production ramps up, positioning the plant as phase one of a broader, sustainability-focused manufacturing campus.
Next phase: Mesa 2 and beyond
XNRGY has already teed up the next step: a 330,000-square-foot Mesa 2 facility expected to concentrate on next-generation air-cooled chillers, according to a company announcement distributed via PR Newswire. That announcement frames Mesa 2 as part of a four-phase blueprint that could grow the campus to around 1 million square feet of manufacturing space and bring several hundred jobs to the Valley.
Jobs, developer and location
The Arizona Commerce Authority described the project as an investment of roughly $300 million that will create hundreds of jobs in stages, and developer The Boyer Company lists the Mesa facility at 9019 E Technology Ave in the Gateway East park. The Arizona Commerce Authority said the groundbreaking kicked off a multi-phase plan meant to anchor the airport's east-side business district, while The Boyer Company notes it developed the Mesa site within Gateway East.
Why Mesa matters
Gateway East has been pitched as a major growth engine for the southeast Valley, and XNRGY's quick build and rapid start of production help explain why developers and local leaders see the airport corridor as a magnet for manufacturing and data-infrastructure work. Local coverage first tracked how the company broke ground in 2024 and then raced through construction, highlighting how manufacturers are steadily redrawing the Phoenix-Mesa industrial map.
