DR Horton Expanding in Rancho Sahuarita During Community’s 25th Anniversary Year

Rancho Sahuarita

SAHUARITA, AZ (March 10, 2026) — DR Horton Inc. acquired 27 single-family residential lots in the Entrada Del Toro subdivision within Rancho Sahuarita for $2,520,375, or about $93,347 per lot. The 3.35-acre residential land sale closed Feb. 24, 2026, and equates to roughly $753,001 per acre, or $17.29 per square foot.

The lots are identified as Lots 742-750, 759-764, 806, and 815-825 in Entrada Del Toro, the latest subdivision within the Rancho Sahuarita master-planned community in Sahuarita. The property is zoned under Sahuarita’s specific plan.

The purchase comes as Rancho Sahuarita celebrates its 25th anniversary, adding another milestone to one of Southern Arizona’s best-known and most active master-planned communities.

This marks DR Horton’s third acquisition in Entrada Del Toro. The builder had already purchased 48 lots in the subdivision before this latest closing, further expanding its position in one of the most active homebuilding sections of Rancho Sahuarita. Other builders already active in Entrada Del Toro include KB Home, Lennar, Meritage Homes, Richmond, and Century Homes, underscoring the subdivision’s role as a competitive residential product mix within the broader community.

Rancho Sahuarita continues to be one of Southern Arizona’s most active master-planned communities, with multiple national builders maintaining a presence across its neighborhoods. This latest DR Horton purchase signals continued confidence in lot demand and future homebuilding activity in Sahuarita, where production builders remain focused on delivering new inventory to the South submarket. The transaction also reflects the ongoing pace of finished-lot absorption in established MPCs, where builders often acquire inventory in phases as development progresses.

The seller was RSMC VIII LLC, c/o Rancho Sahuarita, Jeremy Sharpe, president. Sam Mills, the division Vice President of land for DR Horton, handled the purchase for the buyer.

Hayden Ferry Lakeside Lands Trio of Major Office Leases in Tempe

Hayden Ferry Lakeside

TEMPE, AZ (March 9, 2026) —Phoenix Business Journal is reporting that Hayden Ferry Lakeside in Tempe recently landed a trio of major office leases in late 2025, with Meade Engineering leasing roughly 52,000 square feet at Hayden Ferry Lakeside I, Align Technology taking approximately 52,873 square feet at the project, and Cognite establishing its global headquarters at the Hayden Ferry Lakeside campus.

The 10-story Class A building at 80 E. Rio Salado Parkway is part of the three-building Hayden Ferry Lakeside campus owned by Cousins Properties. Meade Engineering, which specializes in data center work, moved its headquarters from north Scottsdale to Tempe in December, nearly tripling its office space.

Align Technology, maker of the Invisalign dental system and iTero dental scanners, moved its headquarters from San Jose to Tempe in 2021, though it was not clear whether the Hayden Ferry transaction represents a headquarters relocation or an office expansion.

Cognite, an AI-driven industrial software firm, also moved its global headquarters from Norway to Hayden Ferry Lakeside near the end of 2025 and plans to eventually have 125 to 150 employees in Tempe.

Bryan Taute and Will Mask of JLL are listed as leasing agents for Hayden Ferry Lakeside.

Tempe is one of the strongest office submarkets in the Valley, Mayor Corey Woods said in a statement, adding that the city has seen “significant demand” for Class A office space over the past decade. He said that momentum, combined with low vacancy rates, strengthens the tax base, supports local businesses, and signals long-term confidence in Tempe as a place where businesses can grow and thrive.

“The office market is on the verge of rebounding, with all metrics indicating the sector is moving in a positive direction toward recovery. The push for return-to-office continues to gain momentum, and more tenants are expected to move in this direction in 2026,” according to Colliers’ Q4, 2025 report.
