Crown West Realty

Marana, AZ – Flint Development (“Flint”) acquired two parcels totaling 129 acres from an affiliate of Crown West Land Group within the Crossroads at Gladden (“Crossroads”) development located at Tangerine Road and Interstate 10. Flint Development is a commercial real estate development firm based in Kansas City, specializing in industrial, multi-family and senior living development throughout the country. Flint has over 50 years of combined experience and a proven history in development projects making positive impacts in communities. The acquisition encompasses Blocks 1 and 2 of Crossroads, bounded by Clark Farms Boulevard on the West and Interstate 10 to the East. Flint plans to develop over 1,700,000 square feet of Class “A” industrial space, with the first two spec buildings totaling nearly 1,000,000 square feet kicking off construction immediately as part of its Southern Arizona Logistics development.

The Crossroads at Gladden is located to the north of the Tangerine Distribution Center that has another 1.36 million square feet of distribution space under development and the Tangerine Commerce Park specific plan. The developer paid an aggregate of $21.2 million ($164,286 per acre / $3.77 PSF) for the 129 acres. The transaction closed on May 12, 2022.

An affiliate of Crown West Land Group acquired Crossroads in 2021 as its adjacent Gladden Farms Master Planned Community neared sell-out to over six different national homebuilders, commercial and multifamily users, and the Marana Unified School District, Northwest Medical, and Northwest Fire District. The complimentary mix of uses at Crossroads will bring substantial commercial and retail amenities to the Gladden Farms community and the Tangerine / I-10 intersection including employment opportunities.
