Phoenix-based Raintree Investment Corp. is developing a 435-lot new residential development in Avondale at Buckeye Road and 107th Avenue.

The Avondale development is called Vista del Verde.

Chris Janson, executive vice president for Raintree, said, said the first 140-lot phase has been completed with Richmond American Homes constructing model homes.

“Avondale is quickly becoming an infill submarket in the West Valley with a number of quality homebuilders and developers opening up new stores. We were fortunate to partner with Richmond American Homes in the first phase of this project given their strong history in this part of town,” Janson said.

Raintree bought the land coming out of the Great Recession. The four-phase development includes a K-8 school site and 7-acre community park.

Janson said Raintree is looking or additional land and development opportunities in the West Valley.
