The Ranch Project in Gilbert Officially Moves Forward

A Landmark Moment for Gilbert

Gilbert is on the verge of a major evolution. With the final approval of The Ranch, a $1 billion mixed-use development spanning 295 acres near Power and Warner Roads, the community is preparing for one of the most significant projects in its history.

This development goes far beyond constructing new buildings—it’s about building a destination. The Ranch will blend 3 million square feet of light-industrial space, 34 acres of retail, and 729 multifamily residences, all thoughtfully planned to support a balanced, dynamic lifestyle in the East Valley.

What to Expect in Phase One

Construction for Phase 1 is scheduled to begin in Q4 2025, kicking off with Harvest Village—a walkable retail center featuring restaurants, shops, and an open-air plaza designed for neighborhood gatherings and events.

Adjacent to it, Corner Springs will add even more retail, office space, and dining options. Shaded walkways and landscaped connections will make it easy for residents, employees, and visitors to navigate the area comfortably.

The plan also includes 18 acres of parks and green space, plus roadway improvements that will create seamless access throughout the development.

Why This Project Matters for Gilbert

As someone who lives, works, and serves families here, I can confidently say this project will have a meaningful impact on our community. The Ranch will:

  • Generate thousands of jobs, from early construction phases to long-term employment in retail, manufacturing, hospitality, and professional services

  • Broaden housing options, giving renters and relocating professionals more choices right within Gilbert

  • Support local businesses, increasing foot traffic and introducing new opportunities for business owners and entrepreneurs

  • Elevate lifestyle amenities, with plazas, green spaces, and walkable pathways that strengthen community connection

This project embodies the values that make Gilbert special—careful growth, intentional design, and a focus on preserving the town’s welcoming character while creating room for new possibilities.

A Prime and Strategic Location

The Ranch’s location is no accident. Positioned minutes from Loop 202, US-60, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, and ASU Polytechnic Campus, the development is anchored by some of the East Valley’s strongest transportation and economic corridors.

This connectivity is exactly why developers are investing here—and why The Ranch is poised to become one of Gilbert’s most vibrant mixed-use destinations.

A Vision for Gilbert’s Future

Gilbert has evolved from agricultural roots into one of Arizona’s most sought-after places to live. The Ranch continues that upward trajectory, blending progress with a strong sense of community.

For homeowners, sellers, and investors, large-scale developments like this often signal long-term stability, rising property values, and expanding local amenities.
