Recker Road, this 23-acre project will include restaurants, retail, offices, health and wellness facilities, and [a 340-unit apartment community].” AZRE has much more on this planned mixed-use from SB2-Gilbert, including a rendering that brings to mind a French-impressionist painting. (Although probably not as valuable as a Pissarro, says Dealmaker’s brand new “Ya Think?” Dept.) http://bit.ly/2JBzyMS
