ASM America’s Big Move

North Scottsdale is about to go high-tech thanks to Dutch tech giant ASM America—and they’re not coming quietly.

👷‍♂️ What’s the deal?
ASM just locked in plans for their new $400 million U.S. headquarters and R&D playground, and this thing is going to be massive. We’re talking 400,000 square feet of cutting-edge innovation, nestled in one of the bougiest zip codes in the desert.

🧠 Brains & Big Bucks
Once it’s up and running (expected in 2026), ASM plans to hire 1,200 people, including 500 high-paying jobs averaging $110K/year. That’s some serious tech talent—and a whole lot of lunch traffic for nearby cafés.

💸 Money talks—and so does Scottsdale
If ASM hits its goals over the next six years, Scottsdale will reimburse them up to $6.35 million. Not bad for a little semiconductor magic and a local economic boost.

🔮 Big Picture:
This isn’t just a tech HQ—it’s a signal that Scottsdale is ready to play with the big leagues. Fancy chips, future-focused research, and high-wage jobs? The desert’s looking more like Silicon Valley with better views.
