Plans have been submitted to the City of Goodyear, Arizona for the building of a an expansive 930-acre master planned community on the south side of the city.
The project, called Terrasante, is being developed by the Phoenix-based RVG Partners and will uniquely include a regional hospital medical center campus comprising some 65 acres.
The larger development, according to plans, could see the construction of just over 2,700 homes.
The medical care campus will include healthcare facilities serving a rapidly growing part of Goodyear to the south of the Gila River.
According to the Census Bureau, Goodyear is one of the fastest growing cities in Arizona, jumping from 18,000 people to over 95,000 in the last two decades.
Long in the planning and talking stage, the master-planned community, on currently vacant land near the Estrella Mountains, could come with an initial $200 million price tag.
Plans for the community include plenty of green space and parks as well as the building of a trail system.
The planned homes, in a suburban neighborhood pattern, will be separated by the large swaths of green space. Future development at the site could also see the construction of an elementary school.
A schedule for when work will begin on the Terrasante project has not yet been announced.
