Elected leaders and staff from the city of Apache Junction, Ariz., joined local businesses and stakeholders at Sundt Construction's Jan. 30, 2026, groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the start of construction on its 65,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility.
The new industrial building will be the largest in Apache Junction and is expected to create approximately 100 new job opportunities for the city in this first phase.
In July 2025, Sundt bought a 36-acre parcel near the southwest corner of Tomahawk Road and U.S. 60 for offsite manufacturing.
Sundt will use the new facility to fabricate structural and mechanical systems, which will support their construction projects locally and throughout the country.
Additionally, there will be a significant office buildout of approximately 10,000 sq. ft. to support engineering and design teams, along with a training facility for employees throughout the region. Sundt plans to expand into other specialties in the future, reserving the remaining acreage of their property for expansion.
"Sundt has established itself as one of the most respected general contractors in the country, and this new building reflects the confidence in our area's talented workforce and quality of life," Apache Junction Mayor Chip Wilson said. "We thank Sundt for their significant investment in Apache Junction and the job opportunities that this facility will bring to our community."
Sundt has been headquartered in Arizona since 1929, building notable projects across the valley, including the current Loop 202 widening project and the Cave Creek Water Reclamation Plant Rehabilitation.
"This new facility represents a major investment in how we deliver work for our clients and how we support our employee-owners," said Sundt President and CEO Cade Rowley. "Apache Junction offers a strategic location for these manufacturing jobs, and it has been a pleasure working with city leadership throughout this process. We look forward to making a lasting impact on the community for years to come."
Construction is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.
