With the success release of Waters @ Ocotillo, Pulte Homes again released Hamilton Heights just 2 miles East of Ocotillo. Again, it is very successful and attracts lots of home buyers. Both new home sites are at South of Loop 202, in the Bogle Junior and Hamilton High School attending area, close to 101 and 202, near Intel, Wells Fargo, Orbital, Chandler Regional Medical Center, BofA campus and many other employers in the area.

Recently, the two long time vacant land at Alma School and Pecos were sold to residential developer. They were zoned for commercial per City’s development guideline. However, there are already many commercial sites and shops in the neighborhood area. So these two lots has been sit there for 7 years. The new usage for low density residential has been approved by the City and soon the construction will get started. These developments will be town homes from 650 to 1,250 square feet with granite counter, stainless steel appliances and back yard.

The Southeast corner of Dobson and Germann was also zoned for commercial and has been idle for years. Not long ago, City approved the request for re-zoning to high density residential. A 360 untis 3-level apartment will soon break ground there.

Right next to above mentioned Hamilton Heights by Pulte Homes, a brand new apartment complex has just opened for business.

At the Northeast side of Alma School and Willis, there is also a brand new apartment complex ready to take applications.

Five years ago, City of Chandler in anticipation of reaching city build-out, hired Mary Jo Waits to address the implications and challenges with having a limited land supply that is rapidly decreasing. The result is the Next Twenty Report, which was then adopted by Chandler General Plan.

The result of above zoning changes and prompting more residential developments is in line with the revised Chandler General Plan.
