As Estrella continues to grow and evolve, another highly anticipated amenity is on the horizon.
A new grocery-anchored retail center featuring Sprouts Farmers Market is coming to the master-planned community, bringing fresh shopping, dining, and service options closer to home for residents while reinforcing Estrella’s vision as one of Arizona’s premier places to live.
The development, led by Common Bond Development Group in partnership with Harvard Investments and the City of Goodyear, represents a significant milestone for North Lake and the continued expansion of amenities within the community.
“The addition of Sprouts Farmers Market to Estrella represents another important milestone in the continued growth of our community of more than 23,000 residents and an important anchor of our long-term vision for North Lake,” said Roger Theis, Vice President of Communities at Harvard Investments. “Sprouts is a highly respected brand that aligns with the healthy, active lifestyle that defines Estrella.”
“This project reflects the commitment and value of the partnership between Harvard Investments, Common Bond, and the City of Goodyear to bring amenities closer to home for our residents. Harvard Investments is a master developer with a vision for more retail amenities at Estrella. Working with Sprouts and Common Bond is a part of fulfilling this vision.”
For years, Estrella’s growth strategy has focused on delivering a balanced lifestyle where residents can live, work, play, and connect without traveling far from home. The arrival of Sprouts Farmers Market brings a nationally recognized grocery brand to the community while creating momentum for additional retail, dining, and service providers.
Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo highlighted the broader impact the project will have on residents and the local economy.
“We’re excited to welcome Sprouts Farmers Market to the Estrella community,” said Pizzillo. “Sprouts is more than a new grocery store. This will help attract more restaurants and neighborhood services that will expand shopping options for residents. Partnerships like this help ensure Goodyear continues to grow in a way that meets the needs of our community while creating new opportunities for investment and jobs.”
The first phase of the development will include approximately 35,224 square feet of commercial space, anchored by a 23,024-square-foot Sprouts Farmers Market. Additional retail space will accommodate neighborhood-serving businesses, restaurants, and services that complement the needs of Estrella residents.
Plans call for a second phase that could add another 16,000 to 20,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space along the lake, creating an active destination for both residents and visitors.
The center’s location near North Lake, the Yacht Club of Estrella, and the Starpointe Residents’ Club creates an opportunity to establish a unique retail experience that reflects the community’s lakeside setting. Preliminary plans feature architecture inspired by maritime design, with elevated landscaping and pedestrian-friendly gathering spaces intended to create a welcoming neighborhood destination.
The addition of Sprouts reflects the growing demand for convenient, health-focused shopping options as Estrella welcomes new residents and expands its offerings.
“Goodyear is a rapidly growing submarket, and we are grateful for the support we’ve received from the Estrella community,” said Regan Amato, Director of Real Estate for Sprouts’ Mountain-West Region. “This premier lakeside project is the perfect fit for our expanding West Valley footprint.”
The new center is expected to serve as more than a shopping destination. It is envisioned as a gathering place that strengthens community connections while supporting the long-term economic vitality of the area.
As one of Arizona’s leading master-planned communities, Estrella continues to invest in amenities that enhance daily life and support future growth. The planned Sprouts-anchored center represents another step forward in delivering the services, experiences, and conveniences residents value most.
With development targeted to begin in early 2027, the project signals continued momentum for Estrella and reinforces Harvard Investments’ commitment to creating a vibrant, connected community where residents can thrive for years to come.
