Riverside County’s population is expected to increase by 1.2% each year until 2022, ultimately confirming the already optimistic vision of many home builders looking to expand into the county.
The Coachella Team of Land Advisors Organization will be coming to market soon with two additional masterplans: Escena in Palm Springs and Shadow View in Coachella. (Builder Magazine, Feb. 2018)
Comment: Too bad PHM didn't buy this land. I think golf developments are not the way to go, perhaps that's why PHM didn't buy it. I was thinking PHM could divest the golf portion or change the master plan and take out the golf making it something else instead like a man-made lake. It would be nice to see PHM focus more on Southern California.
