Homebuilders bullish on Pinal County despite cost headwinds
by Callan Smith | Rose Law Group Reporter
Top homebuilders gathered this morning to talk Pinal County housing for Pinal Partnership at Trilogy at Encanterra, a Shea Homes Master-Planned in San Tan Valley.
The community was purchased by Shea in 2005 before the downturn and encompasses 745 acres, with a golf course, 22 acres of lakes and a club house, with 560 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor space. It’s a successful community for Shea, said Levi Shill, General Manager of Trilogy at Verde River & Encanterra, a Trilogy Resort Community.
Not far from Encanterra, Fulton Homes has Ironwood Crossing, which it has been building for nine years. The masterplan anticipates 2200 homes with about 200 left to sell. The community has a very active HOA, which is unusually welcoming to newcomers. The homeowners took it upon themselves to create a social group, using Facebook and activities.
“It’s the most outstanding HOA that we’ve ever seen. It’s so important to have happy homeowners are they move in, which will make a homebuilder’s future,” Dennis Webb, Fulton Homes vice-president of Operations, said.
