A Scottsdale-based developer submitted pre-application paperwork to Maricopa’s Development Services Department this month for a luxury, mixed-use construction project near Copper Sky.
Shea Connelly Development refers to the project simply as Mixed-Use North in the paperwork and plans, which include a five-story building for commercial and residential use. It would cover 5.9 acres on the northeastern corner of John Wayne Parkway and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Jay Northrop, chief operations officer with Shea Connelly, confirmed the development was in the initial stages, but the company is excited to begin building.
“(Maricopa has) a growing population,” Northrup said. “There’s a lot of stuff going on in Maricopa and there’s hardly any apartments there even with all the businesses that are coming in. It’s expanding rapidly.”
