A proposed apartment complex near one of Fountain Hills’ busiest intersections has led to heated rhetoric, a special election and stolen campaign signs ahead of next month’s public vote on the project.
Daybreak is a three-story, 400-unit luxury apartment complex planned on 60 acres near Shea and Palisades boulevards, one of the town’s main thoroughfares.
The project has faced intense pushback over the last year, with hundreds of people protesting at town meetings. Developer Jeremy Hall said the discourse surrounding the project is unlike anything he’s seen in 20 years working on projects in town.
