(City of Chandler)
By Ken Sain | Arizonan
A proposed housing project making its way to the City Council might represent the future of new single-family homes in Chandler.
There won’t be many and they will be expensive.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approving the Harris Place development at its Aug. 16 meeting. The subdivision would be built on the south side of Ocotillo Road, just west of McQueen between Kerby Way and 119th Street.
There would only be nine homes in the subdivision. The developer said in response to concerns from neighbors that the homes will likely be sold for $1.2 million to $1.4 million.
As Chandler nears buildout, it’s currently at 93%, there is less room for new subdivisions. Most of the remaining 7% has been reserved for industrial space, ensuring there are enough jobs for the city’s residents.
Most of the housing left to be built will most likely be multifamily as developers try o get as many homes into as little space as possible.
So projects like Harris Place will be the exception.
