The Estrella Community Is Booming

Newland Communities and local residents have been enjoying a growth spurt in the Goodyear master planned community of Estrella. In addition to a steady stream of home sales, new commercial projects are underway that include the much anticipated Walgreens and a new Banner Health center.

Walgreens is opening later this fall in Estrella’s Mountain Ranch Marketplace. In line with the shopping center’s LEED® Gold certification, the Estrella Walgreens will showcase a new layout and will include sustainable features such as electric vehicle charging stations, active daylight harvesting and high efficiency heating/cooling and plumbing. Also, the store interior will have a heavier emphasis on upscale finishing and lighting. Deals are currently in the works with several additional retailers, to be announced later this year, who also will be joining Mountain Ranch Marketplace.  Estrella’s neighborhoods are filled with everything from young families to retirees and a store like Walgreens will help serve the varying needs of the residents.

Right next door to Walgreens, Estrella joined forces with Irgens and Banner Health to announce the development of Mountain Ranch Medical Commons, a state-of-the-art, 18,000 square foot Class A medical office facility. Banner Health, one of Arizona’s most sought after healthcare providers, has plans to offer primary care services as the anchor medical tenant. The single-story structure will offer efficient, custom-designed medical space, upscale amenities and a sustainable design that conforms to standards of the Green Building Initiative. Construction is anticipated to begin this fall and the project is slated to be completed in mid-2013.

Estrella is home to more than 12,000 residents who enjoy amenities such as the Golf Club of Estrella, two lakes which span across 72 acres and more than 20 miles of trails and parks woven throughout the community. Homeowners can take advantage of the Starpointe Residents Club which comes equipped with a youth center, water park, restaurant and gym… all framed by the picturesque Sierra Estrella Mountains. The community also hosts many events throughout the year such as: a farmers market, monthly family festivals and gatherings and live music and arts events.
