Phoenix City Council unanimously removed the only legal roadblock to the massive Upper Canyon development in Ahwatukee by approving a General Plan amendment that changes the classifications of a portion of Chandler Boulevard and 27th Avenue.
And while the Oct. 12 vote clears the way for homebuilders Blandford Homes, D.R. Horton and Reserve 100 LLC to start construction, it’s unclear when that might begin because the housing market has radically changed since the beginning of the process that culminated with last week’s vote.
Council’s vote brought to an end a contentious process that never directly threatened construction of Ahwatukee’s biggest housing development in years.
