Downtown Chandler New Housing Project

The Chandler Arizona Republic reports that DR Horton is planning a new type of neighborhood on a 49-acre parcel of land northeast of Arizona Avenue and Ray Road. The site is in an older area of Chandler and is part of a redevelopment that will have higher density housing.

Multi-colored, three story row houses with rear-entry garages are one of the styles proposed for the site, along with detached homes, front porches and rear garages. There will be unique color variations. The site will have about 440 homes when completed. DR Horton said designs will start to go to the city later this month and construction on the first phase should begin by next summer. Prices have not been set.

Real estate developer Michael Pollack stated "In order to revitalize downtown, we need more homes, not more industrial and retail...I think it's absolutely brilliant to put single-family housing at this location, and it shows incredible foresight by the city to allow it." More...
