GOODYEAR, Ariz. (January 8, 2025) – Consistent with the boom in the West Valley, excitement is building at Estrella as local dignitaries and families will gather for the groundbreaking ceremony of multiple new neighborhoods on Thursday, January 30, in the village of Montecito.
This special event is designed to be more than a typical groundbreaking. It will allow children to “Touch-A-Truck,” a hands-on experience with the earthmoving equipment that will help bring this vibrant community to life.
Estrella, one of the largest master-planned communities in the Southwest, is located in the bustling West Valley, in one of the fastest growing communities in the U.S. – Goodyear. This free event celebrates 508 new homesites coming to the Montecito village from national, award-winning homebuilders Lennar and Richmond American Homes.
Speakers and the official groundbreaking ceremony will kick off the event from 3 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. The “Touch-A-Truck” portion is scheduled to begin at 3:45 p.m. and end at 5:30 p.m.
The event will be held at West Mountain Drive and 184th St. at Estrella in Goodyear. The event is free and features complimentary treats and giveaways for the kids including “kid-sized” hard hats and vests, and even free toy trucks. Treats will include “dirt cupcakes” and much more.
“Estrella is in growth mode. We’ve improved so much — added new parks, neighborhoods and so much more in 2024. But there’s even more happening in 2025 as we prepare more than 500 new homesites coming to Montecito,” said Jeff Zimmerman, Vice President of Development for Estrella Development Company.
“These neighborhoods will have fantastic views and feature five brand new parks; not to mention access to our signature resident community centers, trails, pools, fitness centers, and A+ ranked schools. We have dedicated ourselves to making today’s Estrella more vibrant, fresh, and rewarding for buyers than ever before. With the addition of these new neighborhoods, we’re excited by the momentum at Estrella.” Zimmerman added.
The new neighborhoods will offer a variety of home styles and floor plans to meet the diverse needs and preferences of modern singles, couples, and families.
Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Estrella Mountains south of I-10 in Goodyear, Estrella is adjacent to the 19,000-acre Estrella Regional Park. Residents have exclusive access to community amenities including two residents’ clubs with resort-style pools, fitness centers, restaurants, a water park area for kids, along with access to a public Championship 18-hole Nicklaus Design golf course.
About Estrella
Home to more than 8,200 families, Estrella is a 20,000-acre mixed-use master-planned community located in the City of Goodyear, approximately 17 miles west of Phoenix. Estrella’s 500-plus acres of open space include more than 50 parks and 65 miles of paths and trails, plus 72 acres of lakes for kayaking, sailing, and catch-and-release fishing.

Trend Report shares a close association with Real Estate Daily News and RED Comps, the most accurate, independently researched database of commercial real estate sales information available in Southern Arizona, so it is well-positioned to identify the top brokers in each commercial category.
RED Comps’ research team verifies and records all commercial real estate sales in Pima County. From that information, Trend Report can present the “no-nonsense” Best-in-Class Broker Awards to those individuals who closed the highest overall transaction sales volume for each market category each year. This year’s awards were calculated from Q4, 2023, to Q3, 2024, for a full year of sales.
These outstanding professionals have demonstrated exceptional sales performance and proven to be leaders in their field, consistently exceeding expectations in a competitive and ever-changing market.
Deal volume amounted to just over $1.67 billion for the period.

Retail sales brought in the second highest volume, scoring $345 million – up by 13.4 percent YOY.
These top brokers being recognized have mastered the art of connecting clients with properties, navigating complex transactions, and delivering results with unmatched dedication. Their ability to anticipate market trends, utilize innovative technology, and provide personalized, strategic guidance has set them apart from their peers.
“It is not just about numbers. These brokers have built lasting relationships with their clients based on trust, integrity, and a passion for helping people make some of the most significant decisions of their lives – buying or selling real estate,” Schutte said. “Their commitment to professionalism and their tireless work ethic has earned them not only financial success but also the respect and admiration of their colleagues and clients alike.
“As we look to 2025, we know these brokers will continue to raise the bar, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and driving excellence in the real estate industry. Their achievements serve as a testament to their dedication, expertise, and commitment to the highest standards of service,” Schutte added.
Among the winners are representatives from national real estate powerhouses such as Marcus & Millichap, Land Advisors Organization, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, and top brokers of local firms in Southern Arizona. All winners must be based in Southern Arizona.
All Trend Report’s Best-in-Class Broker Awards are based exclusively on sales volume transaction data from the RED Comps commercial real estate database, the most accurate, independently researched database of commercial real estate property sales information. The Good Works Award was based on the most generous acts of time and money to the community.
These brokers will be honored at a Tucson-style happy hour in 2025 and can use the Best-in-Class logo in all future correspondence.

This and their new retail piercing location allowed us to seize the opportunity to be at Norterra. It was great working with Heather and Bobby Moss and our team is thrilled to see how the space turned out.”
