Caliber is redeveloping 29 West Main Street as a mixed-use property with 10,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor and 90 apartments on the five floors above. Caliber is in the entitlement process for these apartments now with its partner Bob Worsley of Zennihome.“Given the national conversation about the lack of attainable housing, Caliber's apartments at The Commons of Mesa and at 29 West Main Street, add 234 new apartments to Mesa and are hitting directly at the need that local governments across the country are trying to address,” continues Hartman.
Caliber is leading the effort to redevelop downtown Mesa.“We are pleased that Mayor John Giles, City of Mesa, is scheduled to participate in this groundbreaking event,” adds Hartman.
By national standards, Mesa is the 34th largest city in the US and one of the fastest growing cities. Its downtown area in particular, where The Commons of Mesa is located, has experienced a renaissance in the past few years with the introduction of a light rail service, redevelopment of its historic core, and the new Arizona State University Campus at Mesa City Center which will host more than a thousand students, faculty and staff and is set to open in spring 2022.
Mesa currently has an annual growth rate of 2% and has seen its population increase by 22.5% since the 2010 census. Future job growth in Mesa over the next 10 years is projected to be 47%, far outpacing the national average.“Now that The Commons of Mesa is under construction, we will start pre-leasing as soon we are far enough along,” concludes Hartman.
The total development cost for The Commons of Mesa is $42M. Caliber is raising equity for this project in the amount of $9M. Caliber is co-developing this project with Cardinal Capital Management , a vertically integrated real estate development company that specializes in multi-family and workforce housing.
Another strategic partner for The Commons of Mesa is Waltz Construction.
