A hilltop with panoramic views of the South Mountains east of Phoenix posed serious development obstacles and design challenges: how to attain the density needed to achieve the desired price point, how to preserve the site’s natural character, how to minimize on-site improvement costs, and how to optimize the view opportunities and premiums. The Galloway Group faced all these constraints, creating a site plan with 85 single family homes on the 25 acre site while leaving the major ridgeline and about 45% of the site as natural open space. Terraced, private streets in short loop and cul de sac patterns minimized grading impacts and costs while optimizing mountain views.
