Managing editor Tami Roleff broke her report on Tuesday’s Yucca Valley Planning Commission into three parts. Yesterday, updates on commercial projects in the town. Today, in part 2, good news about residential housing. Tomorrow, highways and roads…
The foundation for the senior housing project on Dumosa and Highway 62 is complete, and soon installation of the apartment modules will begin in late February or early March. The apartments are prefabricated in a factory and will be assembled on the site. Around the first of April, the developer, National CORE, will start taking applications on its website for the affordable rentals. The last two houses in the 500-plus home subdivision developed by Don Landers are in the final stages of completion. The developer of Mesquite 55 has said he intends to submit two new model plans for the senior housing development. Twelve new home permits were issued in November and December for Desert Vista Village, and the three model homes are complete and feature redesigns, such as interior courtyards, solar panels and accessible floor plans. Permits have been issued for four single family homes—two custom, and two spec homes—and five more homes are currently in plan review. And finally, construction is expected to start late this summer for “Sage Estates,” a 105-home planned development on the southeast corner of Sage Avenue and Golden Bee.
