Arizona-based real estate investment and development company Harvard Investments announced they sold all 12 neighborhoods – 863 lots – in Phase 2 and 3 of the Cadence at Gateway master-planned community in Mesa to national homebuilders Lennar Homes, Maracay and Toll Brothers. Due to demand in Phase 1, which is 90 percent sold in less than a year, all three builders are moving forward. Lennar’s Phase 2 purchase represents 486 lots in six neighborhoods surrounding the community’s newly built elementary school.
“We’re delighted to continue collaborating with Lennar Homes in Phase 2 as they’ve created distinctive homes for Cadence homebuyers with their Everything’s Included® features, home automation technology and multi-generational living floor plans,” said Tim Brislin, Vice President of Harvard Investments.
Phase 2
Lennar is beginning to build 486 homes in six neighborhoods as Phase 2 infrastructure wraps up. Their neighborhoods will feature a wide variety of single and two-story home options ranging from 1,700 to just under 2,700 square feet and starting in the low $300s. Lennar’s homesite sizes range from 43’ to 63’ wide by 125’ deep.
“We’re pleased to build upon our success in Phase 1 and bring new options to families with 21 floorplans, including Lennar’s innovative Next Gen® – The Home Within A Home® design. Created for extended families, this layout provides a main home with an attached private suite that’s ideal for elderly parents, returning college children or long-term guests.” said Alan Jones, Lennar Phoenix Division President. “We also love our premium location and are excited to be able to offer new home options for people seeking to call the east valley home. All six Lennar neighborhoods are just steps away from the beautifully modern, newly constructed Silver Valley Elementary School.”
Lennar homebuyers at Cadence will be able to choose from floorplans designed for every stage of life – from first-time buyers, growing families, those with teens, to empty nesters – including two new NextGen® – the Home Within a Home® designs, one approaching 2,600 square feet with a three-car garage.
Beginning January 24, Lennar will begin to pre-sell its first neighborhood in Phase 2, with single and two-story homes ranging from 1,800 to nearly 2,700 square feet – pending their public report. Lennar anticipates families beginning to move into their Phase 2 homes in 2021.
