Expansion of Housing in Tucson's Blackhawk Community
In a significant move for Tucson's housing market, Mattamy Homes, the largest privately owned homebuilder across North America, has recently acquired 73 fully developed lots located in the thriving Blackhawk community. The deal, finalized on December 18, 2024, is valued at approximately $7.3 million, demonstrating a strong commitment to enhancing the area's residential offerings.
A New Housing Opportunity
Mattamy Homes plans to construct a variety of spacious, single-family homes with floor plans that range from 1,429 to 2,427 square feet. Each home will boast modern open designs and flexible room configurations, giving future homeowners the ability to customize their living spaces. According to Anjela Salyer, President of Mattamy's Tucson Division, this initiative is intended to cater to a diverse range of residents, from families and professionals to retirees.
The Blackhawk community is designed with convenience and accessibility in mind. Residents will benefit from nearby shopping, dining, and outdoor recreational opportunities, making it an attractive choice for potential buyers. The development will also offer four pocket parks featuring lush turf grass areas, picnic shelters (ramadas), playgrounds, and ample seating options for relaxation and enjoyment.
Emphasis on Outdoor Living
One of the standout features of the Blackhawk community is its emphasis on outdoor lifestyle amenities. Two pathways adjacent to the community connect to a planned regional trailway system that will enhance connectivity and recreational options.
One notable outdoor attraction is
The Loop, a remarkable 131-mile trail network ideal for biking, jogging, and walking, linking various regional parks and scenic areas. Residents can easily access this extensive system, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
Moreover, just a six-minute drive from the community lies
Thomas Jay Regional Park. This park offers a variety of recreational facilities, including baseball fields, basketball courts, and a splash pad, alongside shelters with grilling facilities and children’s play areas.
For sports lovers, the
Kino Sports Complex, situated approximately 11 minutes away, serves as a premier outdoor venue that accommodates numerous sports fields and facilities, catering to events ranging from youth competitions to professional sports.
Yet another exciting development is the upcoming
Mosaic Quarter, anticipated to open in 2026, which will host indoor sports venues, a field house, and multiple ice rinks to serve the active community.
Accessibility and Location
Blackhawk is strategically located near Downtown Tucson and is easily accessible due to its proximity to the main transportation hub, Interstate 10. Employment centers, such as the University of Arizona Tech Park, Raytheon, and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, are just a short commute away, further enhancing the appeal of the community.
With scheduled commencement of model homes set for Spring 2025, residents can expect to see the community evolve and flourish, with openings anticipated for Summer 2025. This development not only addresses the increasing demand for housing in Tucson but also reflects Mattamy Homes' ongoing dedication to building quality homes that enhance their neighborhoods and promote sustainable living.
