A north Phoenix neighborhood is expanding — bringing 162 new single-family homes to the area.
Last week, Cachet Homes announced the company bought a 66.7-acre parcel at Norterra’s Union Park along 19th Avenue, just north of Happy Valley Road.
Cachet Homes, an Arizona-based luxury homebuilder, bought the land as part of a partnership with IHP Capital Partners, an investor in the deal.
According to a press release, the companies will be involved in the development and construction of 102 “alley-loaded” lots and 60 traditional “front-loaded” lots.
“Demand for new homes in Phoenix remains strong and North Phoenix continues to draw new residents and corporations, particularly within the semiconductor industry,” said Eric Koff, senior vice president at IHP Capital Partners. “Union Park at Norterra is a vibrant mixed-use community in a spacious desert setting with a wealth of amenities. IHP is pleased to partner with Cachet Homes, a well-known and respected builder in the Phoenix region, to deliver much-needed new homes that offer character and a preferred lifestyle.”
Union Park at Norterra is a 400-acre mixed-use community approximately 20 miles north of downtown Phoenix.
About 700 residents currently live in the community with about 304 homes complete, the press release said.
Two styles will be available — designed to reflect Spanish, desert craftsman and mission revival architectural styles.
Homes will range from 2,272-square-feet to 4,115-square-feet depending on the particular model.
Pricing will be announced in 2022.
Brent Ruffner Lead News Reporter | Daily Independent @AzNewsmedia
Journalism has fascinated Brent Ruffner since junior high school.
Since 2001, his stories have been published in newspapers from the Albuquerque to the Arizona and he has always had a knack for making sure his facts are right and his words are to the point.
Growing up, Brent watched as sports reporters covered his beloved Phoenix Suns, a team he followed since Charles Barkley first arrived in Phoenix via trade in 1992. Sports reporting was a dream back then.
But after gaining some writing experience, Brent found a love for news instead of covering different types of sports. In 2008, he moved to New Mexico and covered crime, schools and city beats all while holding elected officials accountable.
He covered stories that ranged from a DEA drug bust gone bad to an award-winning story on school lunches.
In Arizona, Brent was a freelance writer who covered everything from the importance of citrus in the state to Esteban owning a store in downtown Prescott.
Brent is a 2007 graduate of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University.
