Douglas Ranch, Buckeye


Douglas Ranch is a proposed community in Buckeye, Arizona, located west of Phoenix, Arizona, United States. The project had been anticipated to break ground in 2012, but was delayed due to a housing crisis that overtook the Phoenix metropolitan area in 2008. Development resumed in 2019.

Douglas Ranch plan

Douglas Ranch will be larger than the city of Tempe, Arizona, and will be expected to take 25 to 50 years to complete, housing a population of 250,000 to 300,000 residents. The community is divided into 27 separate planning areas and will include a central park, a university, of commercial and office space, 110,000 residential units, 22 golf courses, 150,000 jobs, light rail, and a new freeway.

Project status

The development is partly owned by Jerry Colangelo. The project was approved on May 20, 2003, However, no specific development schedule was established. Douglas Ranch developers are currently monitoring the development activity in Arizona and will continue to prepare Douglas Ranch for development when economic conditions improve and the recession rebounds.
In January 2019, the developer announced that the first 1000 lots would be sold to the public in 2019–2020.
