Construction Underway on Chamberlain Group North American Hub
TUCSON, Ariz. / TEMPE, Ariz. (Oct. 28, 2026) — Sun State Builders, a leading Arizona general contractor based in Tempe, started construction on a 100,527-square-foot addition to Chamberlain Group’s distribution hub in Tucson. The addition will support the distribution facility’s function of high-speed turnover and order fulfilment of Chamberlain Group products. The facility is located at the southwest corner of Drexel and Country Club Roads in south Tucson. A groundbreaking was held in early October, and the project is targeted for completion in April 2027.
Developer EastGroup Properties contracted Sun State Builders to build the concrete tilt addition to the existing Chamberlain Group manufacturing and distribution facility. The existing building is 300,000 square feet. With the addition, it will grow to more than 400,000 square feet. The expansion includes demolition of an existing 50-foot-tall exterior wall on the north end of the original building that will be removed once the new structure is complete. This ensures a more seamless process with limited disruption to existing operations during construction.
“Projects like this highlight the importance of strong coordination and trusted relationships,” states Sun State Builders CEO Mike Forst. “Expanding an active distribution facility requires careful planning and execution to keep operations running smoothly while maintaining the security and organization the client depends on.”
Chamberlain Group manufactures garage door openers, gate openers and access control products under brands including Chamberlain, LiftMaster and myQ. Its subsidiary, Chamberlain Doors, operates at the Tucson facility, which serves as a distribution link to the company’s manufacturing plant in Mexico.
The Tucson hub is certified under the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program that supports supply chain security and expedited border processing for approved shipments between the Mexico plant and Tucson. Construction crews must comply with the program’s security requirements while working alongside the active manufacturing and distribution operation.
Sun State Builders has served Arizona for more than 50 years, with projects ranging from new commercial construction to tenant improvements. The design and construction firm is headquartered at 1050 W. Washington St., Suite 214, in Tempe.
