NORTHWEST SUBMARKET

Saguaro Ranch Parcels

Cottonwood Properties, through affiliate DM Phase IV Investments (Carson Mehl, vice-president), recently sold two parcels along the common boundary between Canyon Pass at Dove Mountain and Saguaro Ranch for $3 million. The sale was to the new owners of Saguaro Ranch, Connecticut-based Northlight Capital Partners, and the combined area of the two parcels is approximately 57 acres.  As shown on the aerial, the parcels are on the other side of the ridge that runs along the east side of Canyon Pass Phase 4 (along New Horizon Ridge Drive).  The parcels that were sold are not visible from existing lots in Canyon Pass and are in the valley where other Saguaro Ranch development is planned. Future residents within the sold parcels will take access only from Saguaro Ranch and not be part of Canyon Pass. This boundary change will reduce the overall number of lots taking access from the Canyon Pass Phase 4 area by about 35 lots. Saguaro Ranch is a quality community and we believe this modification will be very compatible with our overall plan for Canyon Pass.

There were no brokers involved in the transaction. See RED Comp #3036 for additional information.
