Vintage Partners is repositioning a 63-acre site on Phoenix's west side, shifting away from a previously contemplated data center concept after the city revised its policies on where such facilities are considered an appropriate fit. The company is now seeking municipal approval to redevelop the land as a high-density mixed-use community with a substantial residential component supported by commercial uses.

Why it matters

This shift in strategy from a data center-oriented use to a high-density residential and mixed-use program underscores how local policy decisions can influence the highest and best use of well-located land. As Phoenix refines where it wants to see data center development, sites like this west-side parcel may increasingly be repositioned to meet housing and neighborhood-serving retail needs instead.

The details

The proposal submitted to Phoenix calls for a total of 1,000 residential units across the site. The housing program is envisioned as a mix of single-family attached homes and multifamily options, with the latter expected to include apartments, condominiums, and townhomes. The residential area would carry a high-density zoning designation, with plans indicating an overall residential density of 43.5 units per acre. Beyond housing, the vision for the property incorporates 22 acres of commercial, retail, restaurant, and service space intended to serve both on-site residents and the broader surrounding community.

• The site itself is currently vacant and undeveloped.

What’s next

Formal decisions on zoning and entitlements for the proposed community remain with the City of Phoenix, and the project details could evolve as it moves through the review process.
