Developers are eyeing to build a 40-acre commercial development at the former Legacy Park in southeast Mesa, which they are dubbing the Legacy Towne Center.

Plans submitted to the city in March showed a plan to build out the land east of the Arizona Athletic Grounds, along the southwest corner of Williams Field Road and State Route 24.

Landowner Andrew Cohen has tapped Vestar, a widely known commercial developer, to take on the project, according to documents. Vestar is also developing Buckeye’s Verrado Marketplace and Queen Creek’s Vineyard Towne Center.

Planning documents state that remaining phases or an expansion of the Arizona Athletic Grounds are “no longer accruing,” and the property would be reconfigured to allow for a “mixed-use project.”

The Arizona Athletic Grounds, formally known as Bell Bank Park and Legacy Park, is a youth sports facility and a nationally recognized hub for tournaments. Just over a year ago, new owners took over the park after its previous owners defaulted on their loans and had more than $30 million in unpaid bills to contractors.

City leaders and developers saw the park as an anchor to launch a hospitality district in southeast Mesa, to capitalize on the nearby Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

Developers stated in documents that the project will provide support for travelers, visitors and “easy accommodations” within walking distance for those visiting the Arizona Athletic Grounds.

This new proposed project is set to bring retail, dining and a large anchor tenant. The project is expected to be built in one phase. Two hotels are also proposed at the site.

The large anchor with a service station will be about 166,000 square feet.

Additionally, there will be 25,000 square feet split between two buildings for commercial and retail shops. Developers proposed four drive-through users along Williams Field Road.

East Mesa residents have stated their frustration with having to leave the city to go to neighboring communities to shop and dine out. They’ve demanded a more focused retail strategy between city planners and developers to bring in more unique retail and dining options to the area.

The project will need to come to the City Council for approval for deviations from the zoning ordinance.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced three new temples for Arizona in the past year and a half.

President Russell M. Nelson announced that a temple would be built in Flagstaff on April 6. The church also announced in 2024 temples would be built in Yuma and Queen Creek.

However, since the announcements were made, there has been relatively little news or updates on the temples, including where in each city they will be built or when the groundbreaking will be held.

"We are thrilled at the announcement of another temple being built in Arizona," church spokesperson Jennifer Wheeler said in a statement to The Arizona Republic. "Temples are sacred places where we worship Jesus Christ. Having a temple in Flagstaff will give the members of our Church who reside in that area more convenient access to worship Jesus at the temple regularly."

Temples are considered the sacred spaces where church members can worship and connect with God. There are more than 300 temples around the world, with just over 150 of those in the United States, according to the church's website.

Here's everything we know about the new temples being built and the six already in operation.

Mormon temples being built in Arizona

The three new Arizona temples are among more than 45 new temples announced by President Russell M. Nelson, the leader of the church, in the past 18 months.

Yuma temple

The Yuma temple was announced on April 7, 2024. The church confirmed that there were no new details, including a site for the temple or a timeline for construction, to share about the temple.

Queen Creek temple

Nelson announced that the church would build a temple in Queen Creek on Oct. 6, 2024. The church confirmed that a site for the temple or a timeline for construction has not been announced.

Flagstaff temple

The Flagstaff temple was announced on April 6, 2025. The church confirmed that there were no new details, including a site for the temple or a timeline for construction, to share about the temple.

Arizona already has 6 Mormon temples

The Grand Canyon State is already home to six temples that are open and in operation.

Arizona is the state with the fifth most LDS temples, following Utah (32), California (12), Idaho (11) and Texas (10).

Mesa Arizona Temple

The Mesa Arizona Temple is the oldest in Arizona and among the first temples built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The temple took five years to build and was completed in 1927. It features sprawling gardens and a visitor's center. The Mesa temple also hosts a huge Christmas lights display and an Easter Pageant each year.

Snowflake Arizona Temple

The Snowflake Arizona Temple was the second built in the Grand Canyon State. It was announced in 2000 and opened in 2002.

Gila Valley Temple

The Gila Valley Arizona Temple, located near the towns of Thatcher and Safford, was announced in 2008 and was completed in 2010.

Gilbert Arizona Temple

The Gilbert Arizona Temple, located on Greenfield and Pecos roads, was built several years after the Gila Valley Temple, reaching completion in 2014. The temple and its 82-foot spire are easily visible from the Loop 202 freeway in the southeast Valley.

Phoenix Arizona Temple

The Phoenix Arizona Temple, which is located on Pinnacle Peak Road near 51st Avenue, was announced in 2008 and completed in 2014. The temple covers 27,423 square feet with a full basement and an 89-foot-tall spire.

Tucson Arizona Temple

The Tucson Arizona Temple is the newest Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple completed in the state. It was finished in 2017.
