La Estancia adds a 25.5 acre commercial block

SBH La Estancia, an affiliate of Sunbelt Holdings, a privately-held Scottsdale developer, acquired a 25.55 acre commercial block platted at La Estancia for $1.012 million. In August 2013, Sunbelt purchased the 480-acre La Estancia master planned community at the northwest corner of Kolb and I-10 for a complimentary mix of uses in this Southeast Tucson metro area.

Sunbelt paid $17.1 million for the 480-acre master-planned community, block platted for residential, commercial, light industrial, public facilities, recreational and open space. This 25.55 acres platted commercial completes the land acquisition from Tucson developer, R.B Price & Company (Richard Price, managing member).

When fully developed La Estancia will consist of 1,500 – 2,000 homes, 51 acres commercial use and 24 acres of light industrial space, plus parks and open spaces; there’s even 10-acres reserved for an elementary school in the Vail School District. The community sold with 664 platted lots of varied sizes, ranging from 40’ x 110’ to 65’ x 110’.

Sunbelt has now completed the infrastructure along the two main roads and reports dry utilities are in place, and storm drains should be finished by the end of this month or early April. Homebuilders should be excited as they finish up in other areas, La Estancia will be a welcomed addition to pent up demand for lot inventory in the area.

Will White with Land Advisors Organization of Tucson handled the original transaction for buyer and seller, La Estancia 525, LLC (Richard Price, managing member). Land Advisors Organization will also be handling the marketing and disposition of lots to homebuilders. To learn more White can be reached at 520.514.7454.
