The Nox: A New Entertainment Venue Set to Transform Southeast Mesa’s Nightlife

A new entertainment venue, The Nox, is set to bring live music and events to southeast Mesa, an area with limited nightlife options. Developed by the Bongiorno family, founders of the Potato Barn furniture chain, The Nox will be located near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Streamline Cos., a Mesa-based company, will oversee its development, with construction starting in mid-2025 and expected completion by 2027.

The 60,000-square-foot venue will accommodate up to 2,000 concert-goers and host a range of events, including corporate gatherings, weddings, and intimate concerts. Designed with a Chicago-inspired brick and iron theme, The Nox will also feature video and audio recording studios. Streamline’s CEO, David Hrizak, highlighted The Nox’s multi-purpose design and its appeal to both local audiences and visitors, leveraging its proximity to the airport and nearby hotels.

Scottsdale Lands $400M ASM Semiconductor HQ: 1,200 New Jobs and Cutting-Edge Innovation

Advanced Semiconductor Materials (ASM) is moving ahead with its new North American headquarters in north Scottsdale after the City Council approved a $6.35 million reimbursement for public infrastructure. To qualify, ASM must build a 400,000-square-foot facility, create 500 jobs, and reach a $55 million payroll within six years.

ASM plans to invest over $400 million in the project, which includes sustainable water commitments. The new facility will feature cutting-edge labs and employee amenities, adding over 1,200 jobs to the area. This expansion strengthens Scottsdale’s presence in Arizona’s booming semiconductor industry.

Thirsty Lion Roars Into Glendale: Unveiling The States Largest Location at Westgate Entertainment District

Thirsty Lion, owned by Scottsdale's Concept Entertainment Group, is preparing to open its largest Arizona restaurant at Glendale's Westgate Entertainment District in early October. The two-story location, spanning over 14,000 square feet including patio space, is situated between Desert Diamond Arena and Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Spa.

This Westgate location is significantly larger than Thirsty Lion's usual 6,000-square-foot prototype. The new restaurant will attract large crowds due to Westgate's growing popularity and recent hotel renovations. The venue includes a rooftop patio, private event space, and a dedicated parking area, catering to both game days and private buyouts.

Future expansion in the West Valley has been hinted as well, with possible locations in Peoria, driven by local economic growth and increased demand for dining options.

Arizona's Bright Future: Booming Jobs, Growing Investments, and a Thriving Housing Market

Arizona's economic outlook remains bright despite concerns about a potential recession and a slight slowdown in job and population growth. The state has shown resilience, recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic faster than other regions. Major investments and job creation continue to fuel Arizona's economy, with job growth projected at 2.1% in 2025 and 1.9% in 2026, maintaining a competitive edge over national averages.

Over the past decade, Arizona has added around 50,000 manufacturing jobs, diversifying its economy to withstand future downturns. State leaders are proactively addressing workforce challenges by implementing training programs in key industries such as semiconductors and clean energy, while also focusing on attracting top talent through population growth.

Arizona's housing market is thriving as well, with Phoenix ranking among the top metros for single-family home permits. Lower mortgage rates and ongoing construction are helping meet the housing demand created by the influx of new residents.

All this ensures sustainable economic growth for Arizona in the years to come.
