San Marcos Commons broke ground on their much-needed mixed-use development in Historic Downtown Chandler Tuesday. The 15-acre site is located on the Southwest corner of Chandler Boulevard and Arizona Avenue, across from the Performing Arts Center. As majority of mixed-use projects today, the developer has phased it out over a long period of time. Phase II, a $15 million addition will add 42 luxury townhomes to the current 37 units from Phase I.
The developer of San Marcos Commons, Desert Viking Companies has an immaculate portfolio in Historic Downtown Chandler. They purchased several historic buildings during the turn of the millennium and beautifully rehabilitated them, leading to several awards.
The Commons, at build out will consist of residential townhomes, lofts over retail, entertainment and office space. The complex has an urban, pedestrian friendly environment, similar to Kierland Commons, among other notables. The 42 townhomes in Phase II are set to finish by next summer. The remaining phases are on tentative schedule right now with Phase III starting in the spring and consisting of 152,000 square feet of restaurants, shops and offices.
The urban luxury townhomes are two or three story in height and offer four floorplans ranging from 1,300 to 2,000 square feet. Each townhouse will have a 2-car garage, front door entry enclaves in a Spanish Colonel theme that compliments the surrounding buildings in the area.
