Diversified Partners is advancing plans for Destination at Gateway, a 163-acre power center at the new SR-24 interchange at Signal Butte Road in Mesa, Ariz. The large-format retail project is positioned to serve what is described as one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, leveraging freeway visibility and direct access from the new interchange.
The development is organized into two primary components. The first is 24 Auto Row, an auto-focused district encompassing roughly 80 acres within the overall site. This area is planned as the largest new auto mall development in the Southeast Valley, with the land divided into eight parcels that range from approximately 6.4 to 12.5 acres. The configuration is intended to appeal to dealership groups that prioritize visibility from the freeway, convenient customer access and the ability to expand their operations over time.
The site plan for the project was designed by architect John Mahoney. The auto-oriented portion is being developed by the Berge family, reflecting a focused strategy around automotive retailing within the broader Destination at Gateway master plan. Diversified Partners continues to move the overall power center forward, integrating the auto mall with complementary retail uses on the balance of the site.
Adjacent to 24 Auto Row, the retail power center component offers space for a range of tenant formats, including traditional retail, drive-thru concepts and pad sites. The tenant lineup features a mix of national and service-oriented brands, with current and planned occupants including Walmart, 7 Brew, Take 5 Oil Change, Taco Bell, Zara Nail Bar and PAC Dental. This combination of large-format retail, food-and-beverage uses and daily-needs services is designed to draw consistent traffic to the project.
By clustering automotive dealerships with a substantial retail power center, Destination at Gateway is positioned as a regional node at the SR-24 and Signal Butte Road interchange. The mix of uses and announced tenant roster underscore the scale of the development and its role in accommodating ongoing population and commercial growth in Mesa and the broader Southeast Valley.
