Epicenter at Agritopia in Gilbert broke ground Thursday to celebrate the milestone years in the making. Representatives from the Town of Gilbert, Johnston & Co., the development firm for the project that focuses on agriculture, manufacturing, food and communities, Streetlights Residential, the development partner which specializes in new urbanist apartment homes and mixed-use developments and future vendors of the property were in attendance.
Epicenter will have 320 units of elevated apartment living with amenities that will appeal to a broad spectrum of residents. The bottom floor of the apartments will feature various retailers including health and wellness brands, top eateries and locally owned artisan shops. The community will include one, two and three-bedroom living options and more than 49,000 feet of retail space in a health-focused, walkable environment.
The project is the capstone to complete Agritopia and pays tribute to the property’s agarian past and present, as Agritopia includes an 11.3-acre organic farm.
