Texas Brew Expansion: Mesquite to Host New Brewery Facility
Mesquite, Texas, is set to become the new brewing powerhouse for Manhattan Project Beer Co. as the popular brewery has announced plans for a substantial expansion. The brewery will establish a 45,000-square-foot production and distribution facility, marking a significant step in their growth strategy and enhancing craft beer production locally.
New Brewing Hub in Mesquite
The upcoming facility will occupy about half of a newly constructed 90,000-square-foot building developed by Simple Development Partners. This strategic move will transition the brewery’s main operations from their current location in West Dallas to Mesquite, facilitating more efficient brewing, packaging, and distribution. Meanwhile, the existing Dallas site at 2215 Sulphur St. will remain operational, ensuring continuity for their offerings.
Convenient Location
Situated near major thoroughfares such as U.S. 80 and I-635, the new brewery location is easily accessible to customers and distributors. Additionally, its proximity to the Town East Mall, which is undergoing its own revitalization, indicates the area is poised for growth and improvement, making it an attractive site for beer enthusiasts and businesses alike.
Job Creation Impact
This expansion is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, creating approximately 40 new jobs for Mesquite residents. The total cost of the construction project is estimated to exceed $20 million, underlying the scale and ambition of the new facility. Plans for the site include features for light manufacturing and distribution as well as potential retail and showroom spaces.
Community Support and Collaboration
The development of the brewery’s new facility is a result of a collaborative effort between Manhattan Project Beer Co., Simple Development, and the City of Mesquite. The Mesquite Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended necessary zoning changes to support the project, indicating strong community backing for the expansion. Additionally, special zoning approvals have been granted to incorporate mixed-use elements, catering to broader community needs beyond the brewery’s operations.
Looking Ahead
Construction of the Mesquite facility is projected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2027. Following the brewery’s establishment, the remaining 45,000 square feet of space in the building will be available for lease, with Simple Development actively seeking a second tenant. This strategic planning positions the area to become a key hub for new business opportunities, given its accessibility and amenities.
As Manhattan Project Beer Co. embarks on this ambitious expansion, the future looks bright for Mesquite with expectations of increased job opportunities, enhanced local economy, and a vibrant community space centered around craft beer and development.
