Efforts to stop a multi-family housing complex from going up near Gilbert and Riggs roads have failed after the Chandler City Council gave developers the green light to proceed.
In a 6-1 vote, the council overruled neighbors’ objections to the 108-unit complex, called The Villages at Chandler, which will be built on a plot of vacant land surrounded by single-family homes.
Developers describe their project as a “pocket neighborhood,” consisting of several luxury duplexes and triplexes occupied by residents who can easily become friends due to their closeness to each other.
