The City of Goodyear has approved a developer’s request for a Planned Area Development Amendment, which clears the way to add more homes and a welcome center to the Estrella master planned community.
With approval of the amended PAD (which was initially approved in 2013), developer Newland Communities plans to add a new spine road, up to 1,250 homes of four different types, and a new welcome center on a 287-acre portion of the parcels located in a 617-acre area. The development is located east of Cotton Lane and northwest of South Estrella Parkway. The new subdivision, to be called Lucero, will add to the 20,000-acre Estrella community, which was started in 1986 and is already home to more than 12,000 residents.
