Developer hopes to strike a chord with new Mesa entertainment venue The Nox

A new live music and entertainment venue looks to hit the right note in a growing part of the Valley with limited nightlife options.

The Bongiorno family, which founded the Arizona home furniture store chain, Potato Barn, is looking to bring The Nox to southeast Mesa. The venue would be located just north of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Mesa-based Streamline Cos., comprised of three vertically integrated companies, will oversee the development and construction of The Nox through Streamline Development.

Plans were submitted earlier this week to the city of Mesa, kicking off a review process that Streamline hopes to wrap up by January, with ground breaking sometime in mid-2025. Construction would take between 18 and 24 months, putting the opening date sometime in 2027.

The venue would have an address of 7224 E. Seaver Ave.

“It’s an entertainment desert right now. … we have to travel upwards of 30 to 35 miles to see a concert right now. Now we’ll have the ability in the southeast Valley to attract music bands and comedy events,” said David Hrizak, CEO of Streamline Cos. “This facility will even have the ability to host intimate venues such as corporate events, where the layout of this is such that all of the seating is removable, and we can even bring in corporate dining tables, even go so far as to host weddings and dance events. It’s going to be a multi-event center.”
