A new era in low-cost housing dawns in Mesa when Escobedo at Verde Vista, 125 E. University Drive, hosts its grand opening 4-5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4.
The ceremony will mark completion of the first phase of the development, which is replacing the abandoned World War II-era Escobedo Apartments with modern rent-subidized units.
It was among three tax-credit-financed housing projects approved last year by the City Council and the Arizona state housing department. The others are a senior complex on First Avenue and apartments at the La Mesita Family Shelter on West Main Street.
Escobedo is a project of Save the Family Foundation and several partner organizations.
