Halo Vista: The $7B Development Set to Transform North Phoenix
The ambitious $7 billion Halo Vista project is poised to reshape north Phoenix with plans for a sprawling “city within a city” surrounding the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) site. Unveiled this year, the 2,300-acre development aims to create a hub of innovation, industry, and community over the next 25 years.
Breaking Ground in 2025
Developers Mack Real Estate Group and McCourt Partners plan to begin infrastructure work in 2025. The first phase will include an auto mall, retail spaces, office facilities, and industrial developments. The project is expected to generate global interest, with Phoenix already receiving inquiries from international stakeholders, including one from France.
“This is an incredible opportunity to create a hub of industry for the Southwest and the United States,” said Nathan Wright, deputy director for Phoenix’s economic development.
A Development Anchored in Innovation
At full buildout, Halo Vista is projected to encompass nearly 30 million square feet and support up to 70,000 jobs. Key features include:
- The Forge Manufacturing Hub: A 12 million-square-foot advanced manufacturing district, also capable of hosting data centers and warehouses.
- Sonoran Oasis Research and Technology Park: A 3.5 million-square-foot space dedicated to technology, R&D, and lab facilities for biosciences, electric vehicles, and battery innovations.
Both districts will focus on attracting companies with synergistic relationships to TSMC, cementing Halo Vista as a premier site for technology and manufacturing.
Retail, Residential, and More
Halo Vista will integrate a mix of commercial, residential, and recreational spaces, including:
- Retail Core: Over 500,000 square feet of destination retail along Interstate 17, designed to cater to residents and workers.
- Auto Mall: A planned area featuring up to 10 dealerships.
- Residential Neighborhoods: Housing developments complemented by potential medical offices and educational facilities.
Developers are also working with Phoenix city officials on plans for water, transportation, and infrastructure agreements to ensure the area can accommodate its future growth.
A Long-Term Vision for Phoenix
Mack Real Estate Group has been collaborating with the city of Phoenix on Halo Vista’s master plan for two years. The group won a bid in May for the state-owned land, purchasing it for $56.28 million.
Christine Mackay, Phoenix’s community and economic development director, highlighted the project’s significance. “This will be a transformative development for Phoenix, combining industrial innovation with community-focused design,” she said.
With groundbreaking expected soon, Halo Vista is set to redefine north Phoenix as a global center for industry and innovation, supporting both local and international growth.
