The Richman Group is proposing a mixed-use project called Town Commons that would encompass three separate parcels of city-owned land at the corner of Guadalupe Road and S. Avenida del Yaqui in the Town of Guadalupe. In a pair of firsts, this is the developers first major project in Arizona, and the first major development to come to the Town of Guadalupe in recent history.
The developer was one of three to respond when the Town put out a public development RFP in December 2022. The Town unanimously approved entering into an exclusive negotiation period with the preferred developer in March 2023. Jeff Kulaga, Town Manager of Guadalupe, stated that The Richman Group’s proposal was preferred due to its thorough approach in providing much needed housing, commercial and retail space to the town.
According to the most recent presentation to Town Council, the proposal includes 3KSF of retail, 5KSF of community space, and 230 affordable housing units.
