The site of a stalled Build-to-Rent plan at the SEC of McCartney Road and State Route 387 in Casa Grande is being reimagined as an expanded commercial and residential development in a set of requests before the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Villages at McCartney Ranch was planned as a Build-to-Rent property in the McCartney II Planned Area Development, and a General Plan amendment and PAD rezoning requests were approved by the Casa Grande City Council in 2022, creating a 34.05-acre mixed-use development site. The PAD was placed in the “Community Corridor” land use designation, with a single-family area placed within the “Neighborhoods” designation.
By October of 2024, no action had been taken, and there were no land sales or project updates, so the plan was marked “canceled” in the DATABEX project database.
Now, however, property owner and developer Garrett Development Corporation (as GDC MR LLC and KEMF MR INVESTMENTS LLC) has come forward with new requests that will significantly expand and modify the site.
