In what represents Tucson’s largest residential lot transaction of 2026 and the most significant master-planned community launch the market has seen in recent memory, Ashton Woods/Starlight Homes has closed on the Phase 1 acquisition of Camino Verano, marking the debut of Sunbelt Holdings’ transformative 710-acre, 2,000-lot development in Southeast Tucson’s rapidly expanding employment corridor.
The Phase 1 acquisition encompasses 480 finished residential lots across four strategically planned parcels offering varied product widths (40′, 45′, and 50′), with a combined transaction value of $49,290,890—making it unequivocally the largest single lot acquisition in Tucson for 2026 to date. Construction is scheduled to commence Q2 2026, with model home grand openings anticipated in early 2027. Phase 1 will also include an amenity package to enhance the residential experience and kick off Camino Verano.
The 480-lot Phase 1 closing marks the third partnership between Ashton Woods/Starlight and Sunbelt Holdings in just 12 months—an unprecedented builder commitment that has put over 1,000 lots into play in that timeframe and signals a fundamental shift in how the nation’s largest homebuilders are approaching the Tucson market.
