A 208-unit apartment complex costing $70 million is to be constructed on 9.12 acres on the northeast corner of Ray Road and Bradley Drive in the community of Eastmark in Mesa.
The Mesa Planning and Zoning Board on Oct. 13 voted unanimously in a consent agenda with other items to recommend the city council approve a site plan review for the property.
The site plan shows a system of pedestrian walkways connecting on-site buildings to each other; to public sidewalks along Ray Road, Bradley Way and Serenity Avenue; and to various amenity areas, according to a written staff report.
“The proposed site plan shows 15 buildings including 208 residential units and multiple open-space amenities for residents including a clubhouse, a tot lot and cornhole area,” Planner Kellie Rorex said at a study session prior to the meeting. “Elevations will be approved by the Eastmark Design Review Committee.”
Drew Olson of PCS Development is the applicant. Premiere Multi-Family at Eastmark II LLC is the owner.
The apartment complex is to cost $70 million and have one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 600 to 1,400 square feet, according to a project narrative by Route 2.
“The [$70 million] community hosts a myriad of features including a roof-deck lounge, full common-area automation, luxurious heated pool and spa with an outdoor entertainment cabana featuring gas barbecue grills and fireplace, 24-hour indoor/outdoor gyms with a CrossFit studio, children’s playground and community park, putting green, dog park, a coffee bar, over 200 car-charging stations, automated mail kiosks, gate drive access and more,” it states. “Vibrant architecture, immense attention to detail, cutting-edge amenities, along with a proven team ensure the community will set another new standard for the East Valley.”
