2028 Scheduled Opening

The Arizona Cardinals have revised their plans for a new training facility in Phoenix. On Tuesday, the team announced they will build a state-of-the-art complex at Paradise Ridge in north Phoenix. The site is located just west of Scottsdale Road and north of the Loop 101 freeway. The team’s current practice facility is in Tempe, where the Cardinals have trained since 1990. Team officials described the project as a significant investment in the organization’s future, aiming to provide upgraded training resources, modern amenities, and an enhanced environment to support player performance and development. Development plans include three grass outdoor practice fields and a fieldhouse with a full-size turf field indoors. Scheduled to be completed in 2028, the facility will also serve as a cornerstone for the Cardinals’ long-term presence in Metro Phoenix and Arizona.

The Cardinals have updated their plans for their new training facility, announcing on Tuesday they will create a new building at Paradise Ridge in north Phoenix, west of Scottsdale Road and north of the Loop 101.

The new facility, which will house both the football and business operations, will be the anchor to a mixed-use, 217-acre site. The Cardinals’ facility will take up 30 of those acres and total more than 250,000 square feet. It is scheduled to be completed in 2028.

The Cardinals bought the property at auction in the summer for $136 million.

The team’s current Dignity Health Training Center in Tempe, where the Cardinals have trained since 1990, is 14 acres and 156,000 square feet. The team had previously considered upgrading the current Tempe location, but decided to adjust after further examination.

“Our goal has always been to provide our players and coaches with the best possible environment to prepare and perform at the highest level,” Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement. “As we evaluated our options, it became clear that we needed more space than what was available at our current location or elsewhere in Tempe. We are deeply grateful to the City of Tempe for its incredible support over the past three decades and for its continued partnership. And we are just as excited to welcome this new chapter in our team’s history.”

Rossetti, a leading sports architecture firm that has collaborated with a number of other teams with their new facilities, will work with the Cardinals on the design.

“The Arizona Cardinals’ new headquarters and state-of-the-art practice facility is an exciting, welcome addition to our city’s Headquarters Alley,” Phoenix mayor Kate Gallego said in a statement. “I’m grateful for this game-changing investment and the energy this project will bring to our community.”

The new facility will have three grass outdoor practice fields and a fieldhouse with a full-size turf field indoors. The complex will also have a greatly expanded and modernized locker room, state-of-the-art spaces for the weight room, strength and conditioning, sports medicine and athletic training, meeting rooms, and a player lounge.

The team will also work with the the city of Phoenix and the Arizona Commerce Authority to populate the remaining mixed-use area, with possibilities including corporate headquarters, restaurants, retail, medical facilities and residential spots.

@honeywell_aero announced plans to invest $500 million in a new 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Tempe. The expansion will help the company meet growing demand from commercial aviation and defense customers. The advanced facility will feature robotics, automated inspections, digital production systems, and digital twin technology. These capabilities will improve manufacturing efficiency and support next-generation aerospace technologies.

Located near the Honeywell Aerospace global headquarters in Phoenix, the facility will expand precision machining capabilities and strengthen supply chains. It will also increase production of advanced systems, including Assure actuation systems and Attune cooling subsystems. The expansion will support existing customer programs, $15 billion in new Control Systems program awards, and critical defense technologies.

Honeywell Aerospace expects to open the facility in late 2028. The investment will eventually create approximately 600 permanent jobs and expand the company’s skilled workforce. Additionally, construction will support more than 1,000 local jobs, providing a significant economic boost to @tempegov. #honeywellaerospace #tempeaz #advancedmanufacturing #silicondesert #metrophx #metrophoenix

According to @azcommerce, a delegation of more than 30 Arizona legislative, business and economic development leaders completed a four-day trade mission to Ireland. The visit focused on expanding partnerships in high-tech industries, research, innovation and workforce development. Arizona and Ireland share strengths in semiconductors, medical technology, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, pharmaceuticals and clean energy. Trade between Arizona and Ireland exceeded $850 million in 2025.

The delegation met with officials from the U.S. Embassy in Dublin, Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and IDA Ireland. Members also visited Dublin City University and Trinity College Dublin to discuss research and workforce partnerships. At Intel Ireland, the group toured a campus that employs nearly 5,000 people and includes Fab 34, Europe’s first high-volume semiconductor facility to use Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Intel’s Fab 52 in Chandler also uses EUV technology and will manufacture Intel 18A chips, highlighting the semiconductor connections between Arizona and Ireland.

Additional visits included the Guinness Enterprise Centre, Enterprise Ireland and a roundtable hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland. The delegation also visited the Irish Parliament in Dublin, where lawmakers formally recognized the Arizona group during a parliamentary session. #ireland #irishdelegation #trademission #silicondesert #metrophx
