The banners are hung, a groundbreaking has been held and some concrete plans are coming together for a housing development at Ten X Ranch just a few miles from Grand Canyon’s South Rim.
Ten X Ranch is designed to support 52 single-family and micro-home lots, although there was some interest in building townhomes for residents who preferred to lease a home rather than buy the property outright.
Premier Building Group’s Rod Davis, who is overseeing construction at the site, warned the town council that the entire development would have to be re-platted if townhomes were to be built, since they weren’t considered in the original design. Davis explained that there are different building and lot requirements for townhomes as opposed to single-family dwellings, and re-platting the development could cause substantial delays and add to the town’s costs.
Davis also explained that townhome ownership is limited to what’s inside the walls of the home — the structures themselves would be owned by either the Housing Authority or a Homeowner’s Association.
