Pinal I-10 Corrdor Starting to Sizzle
Phoenix to Tucson Road Trip: The I-10 corridor between Tucson and Phoenix, in Pinal County, is starting to take off. Pulte recently acquired 1,000 acres in south Pinal County to build about 4,000 homes in an area known as Red Rock, on I-10 about 13 miles north of Marana. Sales are expected next summer. I didn't see any evidence of earth movement while driving through the area yesterday.
On the other hand, Diamond Ventures/Fulton Homes 1,600-acre Villago Development, in north Casa Grande, is underway with serious development activity underway. Grading, infrastructure and road work are all plainly visible from McCartney Road.
I visited Robson Ranch, off I-10 on Jimmie Kerr Blvd east of Casa Grande, and was very impressed with the scope and quality of the project. The golf course and club house are starting to take shape and models are already open. At 4 p.m. Sunday, there seemed to be a good number of potential homebuyers strolling through the models. Robson Ranch and its companion development EJR Ranch encompass 6,000 acres. It was easily the most impressive development activity that I saw in this area.
