A local housing developer will build a sprawling 618-acre master-planned community in the middle of the California desert for Disney.
Complete with a shimmering new lagoon, the oasis will be Disney’s newest fantasyland, in partnership with Scottsdale-based DMB Development. The iconic film and theme park empire is known for its wacky “perfect worlds” for tourists to escape.
This month, Disney revealed the new venture: Master-planned neighborhoods, as part of a project known as “Storyliving by Disney.”
