Lennar Homes is First Builder to Move Valencia Crossing Forward in SE Tucson  

TUCSON, Arizona – Lennar Homes closed on 162-platted lots at Valencia Crossing Lots 3 & 4, at the northeast corner of I-10 and Valencia Road for $1.82 million ($11,235 per lot). Valencia Crossing is a planned area development approved in June 2012 that encompasses areas of vacant land to the east and west of the Valencia Road interchange at I-10.

Lennar Homes is the first developer moving forward to develop the area. Located in the Tucson southeast submarket, Lennar’s 162-lots are bordered by Julian Wash to the east and I-10 to the west, just inside Tucson City limits.

The development plans include a recreational area which would have amenities including a children’s play area featuring a soft floor surface and playground with shade awning, basketball court, ramada, barbeque and picnic tables.  The community would also feature several pocket parks, along with a multi-use path that connects the community to The Chuck Huckelberry Loop path network, / more than 120 miles of paved pathways and bike lanes already completed with an additional 11 miles planned or currently under construction.

The development will be accessed by a new spine road named Valencia Crossing Drive, which originally was intended to connect to Drexel Rd, but will now end in a cul-de-sac for the time being.

Lennar Homes will be developing and constructing on the 45’ and 50’ platted lots.

Valencia Crossing is a 195-acre commercial/industrial/multi-family site adjacent to a 166-acre FSP Solar facility first developed by Diamond Ventures. It is likely to eventually include a grocery store and other retail, storage units, RV parking, recreation and power sub-stations are also other possible uses for the area.  All of the lots are on the market.
