A plan that would transform a west Mesa light-rail parking lot into a mix of housing options that could create more than 600 residential units is advancing in Mesa, marking the largest redevelopment effort yet along the city’s segment of the Valley Metro line.

The proposal by Phoenix-based developer Miravista Holdings calls for buildings up to five stories high as part of the project, which would be on nearly 21 acres at the northwest corner of Main Street and Sycamore, just east of Dobson Road. The property now is a bus turnaround station and park-and-ride lot adjacent to a light-rail stop.

The developer likens the proposal to the types of new residential redevelopment that Tempe and Phoenix have seen in the years since the Valley’s light-rail system opened in 2009.
