With its size and expeditious growth so far, Mesa’s Eastmark has understandably stolen much of the attention paid to real estate in thae East Valley this summer. But at 480 acres, with 1,600 lots planned, The Bridges at Gilbert has quickly become the next big addition to the local housing market.
“It was a dead project,” explained Nate Nathan, president of Scottsdale-based Nathan and Associates. “The old developer designed the rear-loaded, green core, high-density stuff and the market changed and nobody was developing.”
That was before Nathan’s firm helped broker a $23 million deal with Terra West Communities to bring The Bridges back to life a little more than two years ago.
Under Terra West, The Bridges took new shape. Located at the southeast corner of Higley and Queen Creek roads, it now includes bigger lots, more parks and water features.
