A leading name in the data center cooling industry is scaling up its footprint in the East Valley.
Xnrgy Climate Systems Inc. has secured 330,000 square feet at Centris Industrial at Mesa, a Class A industrial park finished in late 2024. The new site will be used to manufacture the company’s latest generation of air-cooled chillers, according to a Sept. 17 announcement.
With this addition at Pecos Road and 80th Street, Xnrgy’s total Mesa presence is on track to exceed 1.3 million square feet once all phases are complete. At full buildout, the company projects that its Mesa facilities could employ as many as 500 people. Founded in Montreal, Canada, Xnrgy now considers Mesa its U.S. headquarters.
“This expansion is about more than boosting capacity,” said Wais Jalali, Founder and CEO of Xnrgy, in the release. “It reinforces our role as innovators and our commitment to delivering next-generation thermal management solutions to meet growing global demand.”
Cushman & Wakefield’s Phil Haenel, Andy Markham, Mike Haenel and Justin Smith represented property owner Outrigger Industrial in the lease, while Shawn Beaird of Urban Luxe Real Estate acted for Xnrgy.
First Phase Already Online
Back in April, Xnrgy launched the initial stage of its $300 million Mesa campus. That development, which will ultimately span one million square feet across four buildings, is designed to support up to 2,000 jobs. The company said earlier this year it plans to employ 300 workers there by the end of 2025.
During last year’s groundbreaking, Jalali also noted potential collaboration with LG Energy Solution on its $5.5 billion Queen Creek battery facility, which is scheduled to start production in 2026. However, a company spokesperson confirmed the new Mesa lease is not tied to LGES, emphasizing instead that expansion is being fueled by surging demand from the data center and semiconductor industries, as well as Xnrgy’s focus on scalable, energy-efficient products.
Advanced Manufacturing Features
The Mesa site will house multiple assembly lines, advanced production systems, and real-time digital tracking. A highlight is a $10 million environmental testing chamber designed for its high-performance cooling equipment. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to produce up to 3,000 air-cooled chillers annually.
The lease comes at a time when the Phoenix industrial market is shifting. Colliers reports vacancy fell to 10.9% in Q2 after seven quarters of increases. In Mesa’s Southeast Market Cluster, vacancy reached 14.1% with 17.7 million square feet of available space.
