GLENDALE, ARIZ. — Mattress retailer Brooklyn Bedding has broken ground on a $72 million manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters nine miles outside Phoenix in Glendale.
The 648,165-square-foot building will be located on 42.8 acres at the crossroads of West Bethany Home Road and 52nd Ave. The new manufacturing facility, set for delivery in December 2021, will give the company the capacity to triple its mattress production.
Founded in 1995, Brooklyn Bedding claims to be a pioneer in the “bed-in-a-box movement,” selling its first roll-packed mattress product on Amazon in 2008. By 2015, Brooklyn Bedding had developed and constructed a 150,000-square-foot, full-scale factory in the Phoenix area. The company currently employs 250 and plans to add 150 employees upon the completion of its new facilities.
Brydant Real Estate will spearhead development of the project, working alongside the development team of Alston Construction and the architectural team of Ware Malcomb.
Brooklyn Bedding will continue operations at its manufacturing facility at 4455 West Camelback Road and its warehouse at 4524 North 44th Ave. in Phoenix until the new headquarters is delivered.
