Arizona State University -- the largest public university in the United States by enrollment with 80,000+ students -- Tempe Town Lake district redevelopment, East Valley tech corridor, and Phoenix metro construction boom: shipping containers delivered direct to Tempe, AZ.
Tempe is defined by Arizona State University, the largest public university in the United States by enrollment with over 80,000 students across its Tempe, Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic, and West campuses. ASU's capital construction program is one of the most active in American higher education, with new academic buildings, research facilities, athletic venues, and student housing projects generating consistent and large-scale contractor staging demand year-round. The university's Sun Devil Stadium, Desert Financial Arena, and expansive research park add events and technology demand to the staging market.
Tempe Town Lake's ongoing mixed-use development -- including hotels, offices, and residential buildings along the lakefront -- generates significant commercial construction staging. The East Valley tech corridor along the Loop 101 and Loop 202 is home to major employers including State Farm's 1.8-million square foot campus, Amazon, and dozens of technology companies.
