Comprising 380 units across six three- and four-story buildings, Soltra at SanTan Village has recently broken ground in Gilbert, Ariz.
The complex’s units will feature nine- and ten-foot ceilings, urban mudrooms, smart locks, walk-in showers and soaking tubs, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood plank vinyl flooring, and private garages. The community will also offer several entertainment-focused amenities, such as a 1,900-sf third-story sky terrace with a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, a private resident’s club and sports bar with a kitchen and multi-screen television wall, and an oversized “bark park” with a pet spa and grooming station.

Todd & Associates was the project’s architects and McShane Construction Company is building it. Sustainable Engineering Group is the civil engineer and AndersonBaron is the landscape architect. Leon Capital Group is the developer.
