A third effort to develop a portion of the old Rawhide property in Scottsdale is in the works.
A proposal submitted to the city shows plans for a 218-townhome community called Via Bello at Silverstone. Silverstone is the name given by the developer to the entire 160-acre site formerly occupied by Rawhide.
Via Bello would take up almost 17 acres in the southwestern quadrant of the property, surrounding the Scottsdale Appaloosa Library.
According to documents accompanying the proposal, D.R. Horton, a homebuilder, owns the property. The previous owner, Villa Volterra Investments, defaulted on a loan and lost the property.
