NRP Group Breaks Ground on Three Hundred Fifty Three Unit Upscale Community at Medina Station Mesa

The NRP Group announced financial closing and groundbreaking on a 353-unit, upscale multifamily community within Medina Station, a 60-acre master plan in Mesa, Arizona. The four-story, elevator-served development will sit on a 10-acre parcel in the northeast quadrant of the master plan and target families, working professionals and students in a fast-growing Southeast Valley corridor.

Project equity was provided by Origin Investments and construction debt was arranged with U.S. Bank. This marks the first investment for Origin’s Select Asset Fund and the third ground-up partnership between Origin Investments and The NRP Group, following joint projects in San Antonio and East Austin.

"We identified this pocket of Mesa as a unique and compelling opportunity due to its strong demographics, beautiful surroundings and exceptional commercial offerings, said Austin Kates, Vice President of Development at The NRP Group. This community will provide high‑quality homes in a walkable environment surrounded by established retail, dining and employment hubs. What sets this site apart is its suburban location paired with direct proximity to top retail offerings, enabling residents to access everyday conveniences without needing to get in their car. We re thrilled to bring a thoughtfully designed community to Medina Station and contribute to the continued growth of the Southeast Valley."

Located at 10941 E Southern Ave., the site is within walking distance of major retailers and services in Medina Station, including Target, Sprouts Farmers Market, EōS Fitness and multiple dining options. The property offers convenient access to US-60 and Loop 202, connecting to employment centers such as the Elliot Road Technology Corridor, Mesa Gateway Airport and regional hospital networks. The nearby LG Energy Solutions $5.5 billion battery manufacturing campus, currently under development, is expected to generate significant local employment. The community is also well positioned near ASU’s Polytechnic Campus and A.T. Still University.

"Medina Station is well positioned to be a premier development in Mesa, said Jacob Sojka, Vice President of Acquisitions at Origin Investments. The project benefits from a strong location within a mixed-use community that includes planned retail, creating instant appeal. In addition, NRP s reputation as a tier-one developer adds meaningful experience, credibility, and scale."

The community will include studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom residences totaling more than 340,000 square feet of rentable space. In addition to the primary four-story building, six two-story carriage-style buildings will provide direct-access units and rentable garages. Interiors will feature washer and dryer units, private balconies, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, walk-in closets and select private yards, with unobstructed views of the Superstition Mountains.

Amenities are designed around wellness, convenience and connection and will include a clubhouse lounge with coffee stations, a business center with coworking space, a fully equipped fitness center, an outdoor pool and spa, cabanas, grill stations, a dedicated dog park, landscaped courtyards with fire pits, seating areas and a putting green. Parking and storage options will include surface spaces, carports, garages and rental storage units, with pedestrian access gates connecting residents to Medina Station retail.

Construction is scheduled to begin later this month with completion expected in 2028. The NRP Group’s continued investment in the Phoenix market follows recent activity such as the December groundbreaking for Desert Sky, a 288-unit affordable community in West Phoenix, and reflects the firm’s ongoing portfolio presence across growth markets.
