We are actively pursuing opportunities that attract businesses to Mesa and our community. With 3,200 acres in a premier location near transportation, shopping and employers, our mixed-use environment offers the perfect location for employers and retailers.” This year, Eastmark accelerated the development of some of its amenities because of the strong sales in the community. McDonald tells GlobeSt.com: “Eastmark's growth over the past few years has only enhanced the community. New resident amenities opened this year including a pool and game center, and our residents are helping to create clubs and programing that reflects their interests. Our premier location near freeways and major employers have made this one of the fastest-growing areas in the region and we hope this area continues to grow at this pace. This year, we will be adding new home styles and development will begin on the first preschool and the first church at Eastmark.” MESA, AZ— Eastmark earned another top spot among the top 20 best-selling master-planned communities in the nation during the first half of 2016, according to a report released by real estate advisory group RCLCO .
