The Villas at Baker Park, a gated community of 44 new semi-custom homes, is currently under construction at the NW corner of Osborn and 40th street in East Phoenix, on what was formerly the site of Baker Nursery. Richard Felker and Rich Zacher, Principals of Empire Residential, the newly-launched community development component of The Empire Group of Companies, have combined their many years of development and building expertise and are excited to introduce their inaugural project, The Villas at Baker Park.
Zacher, a longtime homebuilder, said the homes being offered will have distinct architecture, single and two-story floorplans, 3-5 bedrooms, and range in square footage between approximately 2300-4800 square ft.
“Empire Residential is committed to developing new communities and building homes in established neighborhoods and revitalizing the community around which they’re being built,” Zacher said.
According to Felker, a longstanding valley developer, The Villas at Baker Park are filling a real niche for people wanting something new in a gated community stocked with amenities like a community pool, BBQ area, bocce ball, dog park, gardens and close to the area’s best attractions.
“Over a half-million dollars has been spent on amenities because we want to ensure a vibrant, active sense of community for everyone,” Felker said. “People who really appreciate value, quality architecture and the uniqueness of these ‘never been built before home’s will love it here. If it’s a smaller lock-and-leave home or a floorplan with lots of room to roam, Empire Residential will be offering it at The Villas at Baker Park.”
Construction is underway on the model complex with a grand opening scheduled for mid-October. For more information, visit thevillasatbakerpark.com.
