Flint has $1.35 billion and 18 million square feet of development in its project pipeline including the Southern Arizona Logistics Center in Marana where Flint is constructing two buildings totaling close to a million square feet.

This is all part of phase one of the project breaking ground in July with an estimated completion by Q2 2023.
“We are really excited to be working with Flint Development on the lease up of the Tucson Commerce Center and Southern Arizona Logistics Center,” said Healy. “It’s great to have a company like Flint building class A warehouse distribution buildings in Tucson and Marana. This will be the first logistics hub in Marana and the premier hub in the Tucson metro area with almost 1.8M square feet combined.”
Tucson is Flint’s entry into Arizona. Flint has strategically developed over $80 million and 1.3 million square feet of speculative industrial space to deliver solutions that meet future demands and growth opportunities in other key markets.
