Lowe’s Home Improvement Launches at South Bridge Marketplace in Maricopa, Signaling Growth in Arizona

The recent opening of a 130,000-square-foot Lowe’s Home Improvement store at South Bridge Marketplace in Maricopa marks a significant milestone for Thompson Thrift and the local community. This development, part of a larger commercial project by Thompson Thrift, underscores the vibrant growth and retail demand in one of Arizona's fastest-growing areas. Dan Sink, president and chief financial officer of Thompson Thrift, emphasized the strong partnership with the city of Maricopa, which has been instrumental in bringing essential amenities and services to the community.

Located at a bustling intersection that sees nearly 70,000 vehicles daily, South Bridge Marketplace is poised for further expansion. A 54,000-square-foot second phase is slated to begin construction later this year, with ALDI as the anchor tenant. The marketplace has already attracted a diverse mix of tenants, including Einstein Bros. Bagels, Club Pilates, Eurowax, and She Nails, with negotiations underway for 70% of the remaining retail space.

Maricopa's strategic location between Phoenix and Tucson, coupled with its pro-business environment, has made it a magnet for national brands and investors. Ashlee Boyd, managing partner for Thompson Thrift Commercial, highlighted the robust tenant demand and the company's commitment to meeting the community's needs through thoughtful development. Thompson Thrift's extensive portfolio, including projects like Elliot Tech Center in Mesa and The Gilmore in Gilbert, reflects its dedication to fostering growth in high-potential markets.
