arizona upscale apartments set for master planned community

A new apartment complex, to be built within the borders of a master planned community on the east side of Mesa, Arizona, is expected to see the beginning of construction later this spring.

What is being called The Premier will see the construction of 216 apartment units, along with such features as a resort style pool and defined green space for leisurely activities.

The project, on some 9 acres, is part of the larger Eastmark community, under development by the Los Angeles-based PCS Development, which in the last few years has seen the construction of hundreds of homes priced in the $200,000 to $300,000 range.

PCS specializes in the acquisition and development of real estate and has seen the construction of more than 4,000 residential apartment units, as well as urban and mixed-use projects, primarily in California.

Work on the apartment units portion of the site, at the intersection of S. Ellsworth Road and E. Ray Roads, is expected to be completed just over a year from now.

More than 900 homes have so far been sold in the 3,200-acre Eastmark community, making it one of the most popular master planned communities in the country.
