Surprise! Houses are coming to San Tan Valley

When the story first broke, in 2018, about a San Tan Valley golf course known as the Links at Queen Creek being sold to Fortis Development, there were mixed reviews. The original plans were to convert the golf course into a mixed-use project that would have included a hotel site, apartment units, entertainment, dining, retail and fitness, and 50 acres of single-family residential lots.  Well as things often do in San Tan Valley, plans changed.  

On December 1, 2021, Diversified Partners closed its deal to purchase the land for $16.8 million.  They then sold 48 acres to Tri Pointe Homes for $12.5 million.  Now that the deal is done, the new plans are starting to emerge.  Instead of a multi-use development, the two companies plan to bring more homes to an area filled with residents complaining about their being enough homes already.  Their plans include developing single-family homes, apartments and single-family build-to-rent homes. 

The development is estimated to cost $750 million.
