Peoria- A joint venture formed by Vedura Residential in Scottsdale (Bruce Hart, Paul Fannin, Jason O’Clair, principals) plans to develop 333 apartments within the Plaza del Rio community in Peoria.

In August 2007, BREW reported a limited partnership formed by Trammel Crow Residential of Dallas, Tex. paying $3.931 million to acquire the land and planning to develop the apartments. Those plans were shelved after the economy collapsed and the project has been on hold for the past decade.

Vedura Residential, Trammel Crow Residential (Kenneth Valach, CEO) and Olympus Property in Fort Worth, Tex. (Chandler Wonderly, Anthony Wonderly, principals) will now take a run at developing the apartments.
