Canadian homebuilder Mattamy Homes has acquired a chunk of land in southeast Phoenix with plans for a new village within a larger master-planned community.

Mattamy purchased 28 acres within the larger 473-acre Soleo planned community in San Tan Valley, joining fellow builders such as Tri Pointe Homes and David Weekley Homes. Mattamy plans to build 115 homes with floorplates ranging from 1,535 to 2,555 square feet.

Models are expected to begin construction this month, with a grand opening expected in late January. Mattamy said pricing is "coming soon" for the Soleo community.

Mattamy could not be immediately reached for comment.

A 15-acre grand park is the centerpiece for Soleo, which includes a 2-acre lake, sports fields, an outdoor pool, a boulder climbing wall, and more.

Busy US homebuilding pipeline

Toronto-based Mattamy isn't new to San Tan Valley. Last year, it paid $18 million to acquire 118 acres for a 443-home community named Rosewood Heights.

Elsewhere in the area, at the San Tan Heights development, Mattamy is building a 324-home community across two phases.

The average home value in San Tan Valley is $451,499 as of September, according to Homes.com data.

In a news release, Mattamy noted the emerging retail growth within San Tan Valley with the arrival of Sprouts, Fry's Food and Drug and Target.

Outside of Arizona, Mattamy is getting started on 137 homes at The Bridges at Preston Crossings in Gunter, Texas, about 50 miles north of downtown Dallas.

Mattamy is Canada's largest homebuilder, according to Builder magazine. The publication ranks Mattamy as the 26th largest homebuilder in the U.S. based on 3,854 closings in 2024.
