Plans were announced recently for the future of 373 acres of former State Trust Land in Ahwatukee.
Blandford Homes gave a preview of its master plan for Canyon Reserve, an area between 19th and 27th Avenues along Chandler Blvd.
The developer intends to start work late this year or early next on 1,050 one- and two-story houses, 150 Build-to-Rent townhomes and 329 traditional multifamily apartments. Sales for the single-family houses are expected to begin in 2024.
The plan was unveiled at an April 25th meeting of the Ahwatukee Foothills Village Planning Committee. The Committee is scheduled to rule on a formal recommendation concerning the proposal’s requested general plan amendment to the Phoenix Planning Commission later this month. The Commission will then make its recommendation to City Council, which is scheduled for public hearing on July 1st.
Part of the plan amendment includes expanding Chandler Blvd. to five lanes along the development’s border.
Blandford bought the site at auction last year for $175.5M.
