alo Vista, a landmark 2,300+ acre mixed-use development project in Phoenix's North Valley, has appointed Chris Janson as President of Mack Halo Vista. The development, adjacent to TSMC's $165 billion semiconductor fabrication campus, is being developed by Mack Real Estate Group (MREG) and McCourt Partners. Janson brings over 25 years of experience in development, having led nearly $2 billion in land transactions across the Western U.S.

    The project, awarded to MREG by The Arizona State Land Department in May 2024, is envisioned as a 'city within a city' focused on science and innovation. It aims to drive economic growth and attract world-class talent to Phoenix. MREG's existing Phoenix portfolio includes industrial properties in Deer Valley and Scottsdale, along with several multifamily projects.

    Janson will oversee the massive horizontal infrastructure endeavor at the complex, which is being developed by Mack Real Estate Group and McCourt Partners. The project is located immediately adjacent to TSMC’s $165 billion semiconductor fabrication campus and is envisioned as a hub for science and innovation, driving economic growth and attracting world-class talent to the Phoenix region.

    MREG's CEO, Richard Mack, stated that strategic hiring is essential for a development of this scale and prominence, and Chris Janson is a very talented executive who will be dedicated to the project. The firm expects its staffing of dedicated personnel for Halo Vista to continue to expand.

    Janson has led close to $2 billion in land transactions and development throughout the Western U.S., playing a key role in shaping large-scale master-planned communities with multifaceted uses. He has deep expertise in acquisition, disposition, brokerage, entitlement, and construction across a wide range of asset types.

    The Arizona State Land Department awarded the development rights for Halo Vista to an affiliate of MREG in May 2024, and McCourt was announced as MREG’s partner in the development.
