PHOENIX – Sprouts Farmers Market has officially broken ground on its brand-new headquarters campus in north Phoenix, marking a significant milestone for the rapidly growing grocery chain. Construction began Monday on the new facility, which will be located within the CityNorth development near 56th Street and the Loop 101, according to a company news release.

The project is being led by Wespac Construction, which is overseeing the build, while Trammell Crow Company is serving as the project developer. The expansive development is designed to support Sprouts’ expanding workforce and corporate operations, while also contributing to the local economy and neighborhood vitality.

“This project represents a major investment in the future of north Phoenix,” said Wespac vice president Kirk Jonovich in the news release.

“We’re proud to partner with Sprouts and Trammell Crow Company to build a headquarters that not only supports Sprouts’ continued growth, but also brings high-quality jobs, community-focused retail and thoughtful design to one of the Valley’s fastest-growing corridors. The new campus will be a cornerstone for innovation, wellness and economic development in this region for years to come.”

The new campus will span more than seven acres and include over 180,000 square feet of developed space. The centerpiece will be a four-story, 144,500-square-foot corporate office building that will house Sprouts’ executive and administrative teams. This consolidation is expected to increase efficiency across departments while creating an integrated workplace culture focused on wellness and sustainability.

In addition to the main office building, the project includes a 25,000-square-foot Sprouts grocery store that will serve both the corporate campus and surrounding community. Plans also call for 11,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space to enhance the pedestrian experience, as well as a three-story parking garage to accommodate employees and visitors.

But the vision doesn’t stop there. Future phases of the development could include a gym, yoga studio, café, tasting rooms, and other lifestyle-focused amenities aimed at making the campus more than just a place to work.

The project broke ground shortly after Sprouts finalized a deal in April to relocate and expand its corporate headquarters, signaling its long-term commitment to Phoenix and its roots in the Valley. With a growing national footprint, Sprouts has become a major player in the natural and organic foods space, and this new campus is intended to serve as a launchpad for its next phase of innovation and expansion.

The company has not yet released a projected completion date, but officials say the development is moving ahead on schedule.

Once completed, the new headquarters is expected to bolster north Phoenix’s profile as a business and lifestyle destination, further boosting the area’s appeal for both companies and residents.
