New development brings affordable housing to Maryvale

By Lindsay Walker | Your Valley

A new multifamily housing and senior living community development is set to bring more affordable housing options to Maryvale.

Adopted by the Phoenix City Council on April 7, the project on a 27-acre lot at the northeast corner of 79th Avenue and Encanto Boulevard is being developed by Dominium Inc. The lot was previously vacant and underused, according to the city.

The development will go a toward making up a huge deficit the city has in regards to affordable housing. Phoenix is currently in need of 99,581 subsidized units, of which 9,000 are needed for seniors living in the city, according to Angie Holdsworth, a spokesperson for the city’s Planning and Development department.

“The proposed development supports the Housing Phoenix Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing units by 2030 by contributing to a variety housing types that will address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant land in a more sustainable fashion,” said Ms. Holdsworth. “[It] proposes affordable housing for families and seniors and supports the goal of providing more housing units by 2030.”
