Teravalis in Buckeye will open its first village, Floreo, with a public event featuring twenty model homes, activities, and tours. The 37,000 acre master plan is expected to include up to 100,000 homes and major commercial development.
The developers of Teravalis, a large scale master planned community under construction in Buckeye, will host a public grand opening for the project’s first village. The event, called Floreo Fest, will take place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to prospective homebuyers and community members. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP online, but walk ins may participate. Parking will be available on West Floreo Drive near Sun Valley Parkway, with shuttle service provided to the village of Floreo.
Floreo will feature twenty model homes built by seven homebuilders. The homes range from 1,232 to 2,712 SF, with starting prices in the 300,000 dollar range. The event will include food offerings, live music, art displays, and interactive activities.
The Floreo village covers approximately 3,000 acres and has capacity for more than 8,000 homes. Over 600 acres within the village are planned as open space. This opening represents the early stages of the Teravalis community, a development planned by Howard Hughes Communities on a significantly larger scale.
The full Teravalis project spans about 37,000 acres west of the White Tank Mountains near the future Interstate 11 corridor. Construction began in October 2022, and the first model homes opened in August through Century Communities. Teravalis is projected to become Arizona’s largest master planned community. The long term plan includes as many as 100,000 homes, 55 million SF of commercial development, and more than 7,000 acres of parks and preserved land.
Planned amenities across the development include trail networks, sports courts, multiple parks, swimming pools, and the Echo Community Center, which is currently being built. These features are intended to support a residential population projected to reach 300,000 at full build out. If that population is realized, Buckeye would become the fourth largest city in Arizona, behind Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa.
The opening of Floreo marks the first opportunity for the public to explore homes within Teravalis. Additional builders have joined the project throughout its early phases, and more model home unveilings are expected as the broader development progresses.
