Summary from the owner’s representative
Sunlit Arizona LLC is applying for Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designation for the property located at 777 
West Alameda Road, Phoenix, Arizona, parcel 210-07-090A, to be included in the City of Phoenix’s Foreign 
Trade Zone No. 75. FTZ designation will allow reclassification of this property from Class 2 with a tax 
assessment ratio of 15% to Class 6 with a tax assessment ratio of 5% under A.R.S. 42-12006.  
Sunlit Arizona LLC is an affiliate of Sunlit Chemical which manufactures hydrofluoric acid, sodium fluoride, 
ammonium fluoride, phosphoric acid, hydrogen fluoride and other fluorine-related chemicals used in the 
manufacturing of semiconductors.  The proposed Sunlit subzone is located on 17 acres. The new facility 
is being constructed to supply the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. microchip production plant.  
The facility will warehouse and process specialty chemicals. The establishment of this facility will help to 
increase production of microchips in the United States to alleviate the issue with supply of microchips in 
the future. 
Actual production will not begin until early 2023; however, production equipment may be imported as 
early as July 2022. The total investment planned for the facility is approximately $44.2 million, which 
consists of $3.0 million for land, $14.9 million for real property improvements, and $26.3 million for 
personal property.
