The parent company of the PhoenixMart international sourcing center, NALTEC (North American Logistics, Trade and E-Commerce City) is scheduled to ask the Casa Grande Planning and Zoning Commission Thursday night for a new name for the entire project and zoning changes regarding sizes of residential and commercial developments in the 585-acre project.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reported that AZ Sourcing, builders of PhoenixMart, is requesting the name of the development area be changed to NALTEC from PhoenixMart. AzSourcing is also proposing nearly two dozen changes to its development plan, among them, reducing the number of residential units from 993 to 855, modifying landscaping and adjusting the natural gas easement, the Dispatch reported, to keep the property current with trends and market demands.
Currently, 475 acres are classified as commerce and business and the remaining 110 acres as neighborhoods.
PhoenixMart continues construction of the more than 1.5-million-square-foot sourcing center at its 585-acre site in Casa Grande, Ariz., and announced recently its continued leasing initiative to complete leasing more than 1,700 suites in 2015, most of them well in advance of the commerce center’s anticipated opening in the fourth quarter.
“The feedback we’re hearing from the marketplace is that most everyone is looking for a new go-to-market strategy,” says Mike Harris, PhoenixMart Executive Vice President of Revenue and Operations. “CEOs are under tremendous pressure to reduce the cost of customer acquisition and improve time-to-market, which is what PhoenixMart does best. The marketplace sees PhoenixMart as a great opportunity to reduce the time, complexity and higher costs of traditional go-to-market strategies and/or excessive layers of distribution.”

The global trade center is expected to benefit primarily North American manufacturers, distributors and materials companies in six key verticals:
- Home & Hotel
- Food & Beverage
- Office & Recreation
- Fashion & Variety
- Electronics & Accessories
- Industrial & Automotive
PhoenixMart’s leasing team, based at the company’s Scottsdale headquarters, calls on and visits manufacturers, distributors and materials companies in the United States and abroad. Typically the company works with CEOs and senior executives with responsibility for sales, market expansion, marketing and strategic planning. The sourcing center has increased its growth and employee hires every year, and will continue by adding more sales and leasing representatives in 2015.
