Central Phoenix’s building boom is spreading north.
Developers are planning hundreds of new houses and apartments in the North Mountain and Deer Valley areas, including a 31-acre community full of restaurants and retail. A few projects broke ground in May with more slated for the summer.
Stretching from Northern Avenue past Happy Valley Road, the zones are seeing some of the same building trends as the central city, said Alan Stephenson, Phoenix Planning and Development director. Projects are filling in vacant parcels among existing development, or clearing land for new uses.
