Construction begins on the north side of the SanTan Village project in Gilbert

PHOENIX — Construction is underway on a mixed-use project that will bring high-end retail, dining and hotel amenities to the SanTan Village submarket in Gilbert.

The development, called Northside at SanTan Village, is located on the east side of Santan Village Parkway between Williams Field and Ray Road.

Phase one of the development totals 35,000 square meters across six buildings, creating leasing opportunities for more than a dozen retail and restaurant tenants.

“The Northside project brings an attractive, sophisticated and highly desirable amenity to Gilbert’s SanTan Village corridor,” said Dan Henderson, director of the Gilbert Office of Economic Development, in a press release. “We continue to see increased demand for hospitality products in Gilbert and we anticipate that the addition of Northside’s restaurant, retail and lifestyle components will fit seamlessly into the fabric of Gilbert’s upscale offerings.”

Okland Construction is the main contractor for the project and Aline Architecture Concepts is the architect.

When completed, Northside at SanTan Village will span 20 acres with a main road, a 134-room hotel and future mixed-use assets fronting the Loop 202 freeway. It will also include shared community spaces and a walking loop.

The first phase is expected to be completed in mid-2025, with the official opening provisionally scheduled for autumn 2025.

Additional agricultural land is set aside for future produce for the benefit of the community.
