Mack Real Estate Wants More Land By Halo Vista

North Phoenix keeps changing fast. Now another giant patch of desert near TSMC could head into the hands of developers. Mack Real Estate Group applied for 1,473 acres of Arizona state land sitting west of Halo Vista, the company’s huge mixed-use project already under construction near the chipmaker’s campus. The move links more land around TSMC as tech firms, suppliers, retail chains, builders, & cities race to shape the next chapter in “The Valley.” Dirt is already moving nearby. More plans are lining up.

Quick Points

  • Mack applied for 1,473 acres
  • Plan is to expand Halo Vista
  • Land sits west of Halo Vista
  • Parcel connects to Peoria’s PIC
  • State land will head to auction later
  • TSMC growth keeps driving demand

Massive Growth Keeps Spreading West

The latest parcel sits in a hot stretch of north Phoenix near Interstate 17. Mack’s application places the company between its Halo Vista project & Peoria’s Innovation Core, also called PIC. That creates one long chain of future tech campuses, industrial sites, retail areas, housing, & research space around TSMC. You can already see how fast this area is changing. Trucks move dirt all day. Streets keep expanding. New utility lines keep showing up across the desert.

State officials said the land could support a future expansion tied to Halo Vista’s technology district plans. Mack Real Estate Group agreed to handle planning work while construction continues nearby. The company still must move through Phoenix rezoning steps before anything gets approved.

  • Parcel totals 1,473 acres
  • Land stays under state ownership
  • Rezoning still needs approval
  • Public auction comes later

This part of north Phoenix keeps turning into one giant construction map. Piece by piece, the land around TSMC keeps filling in.

Halo Vista Keeps Adding Pieces

Halo Vista already stretches across roughly 2,300 acres near the TSMC campus. Mack Real Estate Group & McCourt Partners won the state auction for that land last year with a $56.28 million bid. Since then, crews started early site work while planners laid out tech districts, retail space, industrial projects, offices, hotels, housing, & pedestrian friendly streets.

Costco became the first announced user for Halo Vista. More companies could follow as chip suppliers push closer to TSMC. The western side of Halo Vista lines up with the newly targeted acreage. That area is planned for the Forge Tech District, which focuses on manufacturing operations & industrial users.

  • Costco already committed nearby
  • Forge district targets manufacturing
  • Retail space keeps expanding
  • Infrastructure work already started
  • Tech parks surround TSMC

You can almost track the growth block by block now. What looked empty a few years ago keeps turning into planned districts.

Peoria Pushes Its Innovation Core

Peoria’s Innovation Core sits directly next to the new Mack target area. The city plans more than 7,300 acres for future manufacturing, tech campuses, housing, retail, offices, & research uses. City leaders already bought the first major section through an Arizona State Land Department auction last year.

Amkor Technology became the first major user inside the district. The company is building the first phase of a $7 billion semiconductor testing & packaging campus near TSMC. That project added another layer to the chip corridor forming across this side of “The Valley.” Suppliers want shorter trips. Builders want land nearby. Cities want tax revenue.

  • PIC spans over 7,300 acres
  • Amkor leads early development
  • Semiconductor firms keep clustering
  • Cities keep chasing growth

The land between Halo Vista & PIC now acts like connective tissue. Developers clearly see value in tying these projects together.

State Land Auctions Keep Reshaping The Area

Arizona State Land Department auctions helped fuel nearly every major deal around TSMC so far. The state still controls huge chunks of vacant land surrounding the semiconductor campus. Developers keep circling those parcels while cities try locking down strategic sites.

TSMC kicked off the modern land rush back in 2020 after buying 1,128 acres for $89 million. At the time, the company planned a $12 billion investment. That number later exploded into a $165 billion expansion plan. Earlier this year, TSMC bought another 900 acres south of its current campus for $197.25 million.

Meanwhile, Mack keeps positioning itself nearby. The company said it wants to own the newest parcel eventually, though the acreage still must move through a public bid process.

  • TSMC bought land in 2020
  • Expansion plans reached $165 billion
  • New auctions keep coming
  • Nearly 20,000 acres remain active
  • State land drives development

North Phoenix has turned into a long-term semiconductor growth zone. And it keeps getting larger.

What Happens Next Around TSMC

Nothing moves overnight with state land. The 1,473-acre parcel will still head through planning work, entitlement steps, infrastructure reviews, rezoning hearings, marketing, bidding, & public auction procedures before a final deal happens. State officials also said the land will not head to auction anytime soon.

Still, the direction feels clear. More companies want land around TSMC and NorthPark. More infrastructure keeps arriving. More master-planned districts keep taking shape across north Phoenix & the northwest edge of “The Valley.”

  • Auction timeline remains unclear
  • Infrastructure planning continues
  • Rezoning work comes next
  • Tech demand keeps growing
