Avondale Development Team Nears Mixed-Use Project Okay

A development team made up of the property owner, two builders and a hospital group have been granted Avondale Planning Commission approval to create a 45-acre mixed use development called The District at Crystal Springs. AZBEX reports that planned uses on The District site include both multifamily and active adult residential, an inpatient rehabilitation hospital, hospitality providers and retail. The property owner is Stotz Farms, Inc. Sparrow Partners, Fifield Companies and Encompass Health are the development partners.

The residential components will offer up to 216 apartments and 268 two-story townhome-style units in three-, four- and five-plex configurations. Townhomes will feature two-car garages, and the gated development will be designed to accommodate on-street visitor parking. Planned amenities include a clubhouse and pool. 

The District at Crystal Springs will be platted and developed in multiple phases, with the residential and healthcare components coming first to establish a base for the commercial components. The Avondale City Council is expected to approve the project at a future meeting.
