Last night in a unanimous vote, the Avondale City Council, under the leadership of new Mayor Ken Weise, approved Ridgewood Real Estate Partners 784 lot master plan located at the southwest corner of Indian School Road and 99th Avenue, known as Parkside.  Parkside is a well-designed master plan in the City’s Freeway Corridor.  It emphasizes walkability, featuring a central park, 3 transit stops and an approximately 18 minute (car) commute to downtown Phoenix.  Ridgewood Real Estate Partners and the City of Avondale worked closely on the plans over the last several years and along with the zoning, a development agreement, outlining a partnership to underground the SRP pipes and power lines, was approved.

Jordan Rose, owner and president of Rose Law Group, who served as the zoning attorney for the project said, “I am excited to Parksidesee this project take off.  Planning Staff worked tirelessly with the Ridgewood team to provide for a wide variety of housing products and a walkable neighborhood.  We were pretty thrilled to be the first large PAD approved in Avondale since the economic chaos inflicted our Valley.  Because of the infrastructure partnership outlined in the development agreement, we are hopeful to see some action on the property over the next few years.”

The project includes 8 different housing product, with 87 units of Single family residential at 45X100; 47 units at 50X100; 62 units at 60X100; 51 units at 70X100; 64 townhomes at 20X75; 101 units of rear loaded product at 45X80; 100 units of urban lofts and Multi-family with a target density between 18-22 units per acre.   Ridgewood Real Estate Partners develops land around the country and has a niche in mastering “tricky” sites.  In Arizona, you may recall Ridgewood developing the Bridges at Gilbert –which turned out terrific.
