IN THE BIZ
This may put you to sleep (literally): PV 303 industrial park developers Merit Partners and First Industrial Realty Trust selected contractor Stevens-Leinweber Construction to build the 650,000-square-foot site for mattress maker Mlily. Construction started in mid-September for a building that will house 300 employees. This is SLC’s fourth assignment at PV 303, following the Ball manufacturing warehouse and Boeing/XPO and HD Supply buildings. The Milily shell building will be 40 feet high, with “a modern cross-dock configuration and a private drive for easy ingress and egress.” The office space will span more than 20,000 square feet, “with large break areas and locker rooms for greater employee comfort.” The Mlily building is at 3350 N. Cotton Lane, Goodyear. It sits on 40 acres within the booming PV 303. When completed, PV 303 will include more than 20 million square feet of industrial, office and retail space near the Loop 303 and West Indian School Road. Mlily is the retail brand of Healthcare Arizona, a venture of China-based Healthcare Co. that manufactures mattresses, mattress toppers, bases and pillows. It operates facilities in China, Thailand, Serbia and South Carolina. Public Notices ............... page 2 © Copyright, 2020 West Valley View, Inc.
