Artificial intelligence’s foothold is growing in the industrial sphere.
Hadrian, a manufacturing company building AI-powered factories for the future, will set up a large-scale manufacturing and software hub at CRG’s Mesa Gateway, AZ Big Media reported. The company, headquartered in Torrance, California, will assume 269,500 square feet at Building A of The Cubes at Mesa Gateway.
The new manufacturing facility, known as Factory 3, represents a $200 million investment by Hadrian and will create 350 new jobs in the region, according to AZ Big Media. The factory is slated to be fully up and running by the beginning of next year.
The new Mesa facility will support domestic manufacturing for critical aerospace and defense systems, strengthening U.S. supply chains dealing with national security.
The Cubes at Mesa Gateway spans 268 acres with 2 million square feet of industrial facilities. The campus is currently 100 percent occupied as tenants like Williams Sonoma, Amazon, U.S. Merchants and Saddle Creek Logistics take up full buildings. Hadrian will lease part of one building at the site, similar to lease footprints held by Lowe’s and JX Nippon.
Mesa Gateway’s state-of-the-art Cubes facilities feature 36-foot clear heights, 48 dock-high loading doors, three drive-in doors, 190-foot deep secured concrete truck courts, 62 trailer spaces and 275 parking spaces.
Hadrian’s new building is fully climate-controlled and equipped with an early suppression, fast-response sprinkler system and high-efficiency LED lighting. The site’s heavy industrial zoning and infrastructure for robust power capacity make it the perfect home for a burgeoning advanced manufacturing operation.
“The Southeast Valley is booming with high-tech industries — from aerospace and defense to semiconductors and electric vehicles — but most of the area’s industrial inventory has historically catered to smaller users,” Mark Sonnenberg, partner for the Southwest region at CRG, said in a statement, per AZ Big Media. “[Mesa Gateway includes] features high-tech users like Hadrian need to scale quickly and operate efficiently in a single-tenant environment.”
