Desert Ridge Arizona land auction delay
Published January 9th, 2008
An auction of Desert Ridge land that had been scheduled for Feb. 28 has been pushed into March.
The State Land Department owns the 205.6 acres, one of the last-remaining large parcels in the Desert Ridge area.
The parcel wraps around the northern and eastern sides of the golf course at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort, north of Deer Valley Drive. Most of the acreage is on the eastern side of the golf course, along 56th Street, and it wraps around the northern side, along Pinnacle Peak Road.
Paul Meka, director of land acquisition for Arizona Village Communities, which has applied for the land, said the delay until March 11 took place because the Land Department had to reconfigure the terms of the sale.
