Seems just like yesterday (December 2018) that new residents started the move-ins after 25% of Phase 1 was sold. The builders for phase I included:
- Lennar with four neighborhoods and 256 homes.
- Pulte Homes with three neighborhoods and 193 total homes.
- Gehan with one neighborhood and 54 homes.
- David Weekly with one neighborhood and 72 homes.
- Newport Homes with one neighborhood and 82 homes
Phase 3 is up for a presentation tomorrow in front of the Mesa City Council Session at 07:30 a.m. That will add another 228 single-family homes in the Eastmark Community Facilities District

Residents begin moving in to Cadence at Gateway community in Mesa December 2018
"We’ve had hundreds of families visit Cadence the past two months who are excited about our private, resort-style amenities,” stated Craig Krumwiede, president of Harvard Investments, the project developer. “We welcome those that have chosen to call Cadence home and delighted several new families are moving in before Christmas.”Inside The Square are a community center, a cafĂ©-style location, a fitness center, an indoor/outdoor center for events such as weddings, anniversaries and graduations and an outdoor garden area with courtyards, pavilions and more.
The community’s elementary school, part of the Queen Creek district, is under construction and will be open for the fall 2019 school year.
Additional parks are also under construction, according to the developer."

"Phoenix Gateway Airport has proven the vision of a huge economic development engine that East Valley leaders foresaw two decades ago.
> Harvard Investments is developing Cadence, a much smaller slice of the former GM property, as a residential and commercial center near the intersection of Loop 202 and State Route 24.
> A development called Gallery Park was announced last year, promising a dense, urban-style mixed-use project at the northeast corner of Power and Ray roads.

there's a lot of land that needs infrastructure: roads, water, sewers, and utilities
Building those will cost ten$, if not hundred$$$$$$, of millions of dollar$$$$$$$$$.But that money comes incrementally as voters approve bond issues one by one and as the county doles out regional transportation dollars.
So, Zubi said, Mesa has to play its cards in the right order. And what might have looked like the right order in 2008 might not work anymore.
D6 Mesa City Councilmember Kevin Thompson said developments such as Cadence and Gallery Park will provide population density. And while early visions of urban cores in Eastmark have not materialized, Thompson expects them to develop over time. . .
He sees two major threats to Mesa’s high aspirations for the area: noise complaints and infrastructure . . . but there is potential for a great deal more if the roads, water lines and sewers get built.
Queen Creek Independent-Apr 30, 2019
“This community is special,” Tim Brislin, vice president of Harvard Investments, said in a release. “From our early planning stages to the final execution, we intended Cadence to be the finest master-planned community in the east Valley. It is gratifying to see the positive response just months after we opened from a variety of individuals and families eager to become part of Cadence, . . We anticipate this rapid sales pace will continue until Cadence is complete, . . Harvard Investments completed another park near the entrance, Cadence parkway, and is finishing up the infrastructure for the last neighborhood in phase I as it begins to focus on phase II, . . "
