Plans are underway to build 1,200 single family homes due west of the Tonto Verde community despite water being such a fragile commodity in the area northeast of Scottsdale.
The Toll Brothers and Shea Homes are planing construction of the development called West Thirty-six to begin in spring 2026, with full build out taking an expected seven to 10 years to complete.
The project was originally planned for 500 homes and a 36-hole golf course, but the golf course was scrapped for water concerns, said Kyle Moyer, an attorney representing the project. However, despite water use being such a concern, the developers are planing an additional 600 homes.
