Crescent Communities is expanding its footprint in the Valley with the addition of NOVEL Norterra, a new multifamily community planned for one of North Phoenix’s fastest-growing corridors.
The developer recently closed on the 8.5-acre site, located just east of Interstate 17 within the Norterra neighborhood, where construction is set to begin this month. The four-story development will feature 248 apartment homes, with the first residents expected to move in during spring 2028.
Part of the nearly 600-acre Norterra master-planned community, NOVEL Norterra will place residents within walking distance of The Shops at Norterra and adjacent to a retail center anchored by Fry’s. The location also offers convenient access to major employers, including the TSMC Arizona semiconductor campus and the USAA regional headquarters, both of which continue to fuel growth in the area.
