Mesa
With burgeoning business districts and more than 513,000 residents spread over 138 square miles, Mesa has come into its own. And — surprise! — Mesa is the 37th-largest city in the United States, surpassing Miami, Minneapolis and Atlanta.
What’s not surprising is the heavyweights — Apple, Meta, Boeing, AT&T, Benchmark, Textron, and Gulfstream — that make their home here. Add to that Google’s plan for a future $1 billion campus, Virgin Galactic’s announced spaceship manufacturing facility, and the completion of the new, digitally focused and jobs-of-the-future Arizona State University campus in Mesa’s downtown Innovation District, and you can see why the city is considered a premier business destination.
