In October of 2004 I came to visit family in Arizona from New York. I honestly did not know what to expect. Being from a big city I thought Arizona was just one big desert. What I witnessed was totally the opposite of what I had imagined. I saw a state that was experiencing tremendous growth. When I went back home I decided that I wanted to be part of this growth so I gave my job notice and moved here soon after. AquaTerra in Mesa is just the kind of growth I am talking about.
AquaTerra will be located on the northwest corner of Grove Avenue and Westwood just east of Fiesta Mall. AquaTerra will include over 300 condos, 15,000 square feet of retail space and a 128 room hotel. The plan originally included four 25 story towers, but the developers now are planning to build three low rise buildings.
There will be condos ranging from 600 to 3000 square feet. Since the sales office opened people have been lining to reserve some of these homes.
The project will be close to the future home of the light rail by the Fiesta Mall in Mesa.
Developers will start construction some time next year and hope to finish in about 24 months.
Communities such as AquaTerra make me excited to be here in Arizona. I am now part of the growth I witnessed back in 2004 when I was just a naive New Yorker. I am now proud to call Arizona home.
