The housing development will be known as Homestead Talking Glass and will feature a variety of lifestyle choices.
Construction is going on at a number of separate buildings in the complex which covers a sizable portion of downtown from the Prescott Valley Event Center on Florentine all the way to the old Albertson's store over on Lake Valley Road.
Speaking of that grocery store, long closed and out of business, that's where this Homestead Marketplace would be located.
It sounds a bit upscale for this town but the population is growing and more and more homes are being built.
The flyer is asking for vendors, restaurant operators and additional investors so one must wonder if it will become a reality or if it's "pie in the sky".
Only time will tell but the opening of Homestead Talking Glass and occupancy right next door could have a favorable impact.
Time shall tell.
ReplyDeleteWill it be "walkable"? If it is, it'll be great.
ReplyDeleteIt is already establishED. Bad spelling or grammar on a sign suggests a lack of attention to detail. I’m thinking it’s a tart in the clouds..

ReplyDeleteWhenever new housing is being built, I always wonder where will they buy groceries? Or how far will they have to drive for groceries? Talking Glass upscale condos could walk to WalMart, but that new idea for Albertson's is more in line with the clientele. Now if they would just find a business for the empty K-Mart store . . .
ReplyDeleteDefinitely something interesting to keep an eye on!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of the concept but, I'm with you on the pie-in-the-sky thought. It does sound like they are reaching out in a very non-traditional way. That's a lot of growth for Prescott Valley. I'll have to ask my sister how she feels about that.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's good that they're trying to reuse an old grocery store, anyway. Too many of those closed-up big box stores and strip mall anchor shops just sit empty all over the country.
