Fully Entitled Drive Thru PAD - 53K VPD 420 S Ellsworth Rd 0.64 Acres of Commercial Land for Lease in Mesa, AZ 85208

Flexible commercial pad within East Mesa Crossroads, a two-tenant development at the southwest corner of Ellsworth and Broadway. The available southern pad is immediately adjacent to the existing Jack in the Box and benefits from internal connectivity to the development’s Broadway and Ellsworth access points.
The owner has prepared four use-specific development-readiness synopses to help prospective tenants evaluate the property:
- A ±2,500-square-foot drive-through QSR concept
- A compact drive-through coffee concept
- An express oil-change concept benchmarked against compact Take 5 and Valvoline formats
- A ±6,900-square-foot auto-parts/general retail concept consistent with the typical building ranges published by O’Reilly Auto Parts and AutoZone
The historical property file includes prior commercial development plans, civil engineering, drainage analysis, utilities, fireline and hydrant planning, traffic materials and shared-development records. These materials offer a strong diligence and design baseline while allowing the selected operator to adapt the site to its current prototype and operational requirements.
All proposed concepts remain subject to current site planning, engineering, agency review and final governmental approval. Brand references describe comparable prototype formats only and do not imply affiliation or approval.
Property Overview
East Mesa Crossroads offers a flexible commercial development opportunity at the southwest corner of Ellsworth Road and Broadway Road in East Mesa. The available approximately 0.64-acre pad is positioned immediately south of an operating Jack in the Box and across from a Fry’s-anchored shopping center, Circle K and Fry’s Fuel Center, with CVS located on the northeast corner.
The location provides strong visibility and access within an established commercial intersection. Broadway Road carries 25,681 vehicles per day according to the City of Mesa’s 2023 count, before accounting for additional traffic on Ellsworth. Ellsworth also provides regional connectivity toward Loop 202 and serves traffic moving between established East Mesa neighborhoods, Main Street, Broadway and the freeway corridor.

Maricopa County C-2 zoning accommodates a broad range of commercial uses. The owner has developed preliminary readiness materials for four particularly suitable formats:
- Drive-Through QSR: A concept based on an approximately 2,500-square-foot restaurant with drive-through service, parking and stacking designed around the combined development.
- Drive-Through Coffee: A compact coffee format with efficient queuing, service circulation and potential shared-parking coordination.
- Express Oil Change: A small-footprint automotive-service concept comparable in scale to modern Take 5 and Valvoline facilities.
- Auto-Parts or General Retail: An approximately 6,900-square-foot building based on the property’s historical auto-parts plan. That footprint falls within O’Reilly’s published 6,800–7,225-square-foot prototype range and AutoZone’s typical 6,500–8,000-square-foot range.

The existing development history—including zoning, civil design, drainage, access, utility and fire-service planning—can materially accelerate a prospective tenant’s initial evaluation. Final site configuration, parking, drive-through equipment, utilities and agency requirements will be determined for the selected operator’s prototype.
