Another sign of a rebounding single-home market is the massive construction under way of the newest Trilogy-brand community by Shea Homes -- Trilogy at Verde River.

The project, bordering the Tonto National Forest and north of the Verde communities, is zoned for 1,285 homes on approximately 800 acres.

At least seven model homes are in various stages of construction behind a six-foot wall around the property. A new entrance and gate house has been built on Rio Verde Drive and 174th Street.

Pricing of the homes has not yet been determined, said a Shea Homes spokeswoman, but “will be driven by market demand.”

Homes will have open floor plans with designs that connect indoor and outdoor spaces. The community will not be age-restricted to 55 years old.

Plans also are in development for a private resort club to be located within the community.

Until the public disclosure report is filed in a few weeks, more details about the home designs or when sales will begin could not be released, said the spokeswoman.

The Development Services Division of the Arizona Department of Real Estate development regulates the sale of subdivided lands. A developer must obtain a Disclosure Report (public report) prior to making offers for sale.

The community includes an 18-hole Ken Kavanaugh-designed golf course that has welcomed the public for a number of years. PGA professional Tom Lehman is redesigning the course.

Shea Homes has been conducting “Living Vision Sessions” about home, community and club design.

Informational meetings about the golf and resort club, floor plans and elevations of the homes; social and golf memberships and homeowners association will be topics at sessions on Sept. 2, 3 and 5.

Interested participants can register to attend online at the Shea Homes website.

Initially the development was named Vista Verde and intended as a sister resort community to nearby Tonto Verde and Rio Verde.

When the land was sold in 2013, the name was changed to Tegavah, a Yavapai word for the “gathering place.”

Shea Homes then purchased Tegavah in October 2014 and announced it would develop a Trilogy community.

Initially the developer said the name would be Trilogy at Verde River Ranch, but more recent information indicates that the “ranch” has been dropped from the name.

Individuals who previously purchased lots under the banner of Vista Verde or Tegavah will become members of the new community.

Shea Homes launched the Trilogy brand in 1999 and describes it as a division within the home building firm to develop resort communities designed specifically for the Baby Boom generation. Shea Homes’ advertises that Baby Boomers “demand a new breed of community as they become empty nesters and retirees.”

“Trilogy is designed for people who want to enrich their lives, nourish their souls, feel great and have fun,” according to company publicity.

Accessibility to Tonto National Forest, the fifth largest national forest in the United States, and the Verde River will appeal to outdoor recreation enthusiasts who enjoy an active lifestyle, such as hiking, kayaking, cycling and camping.
