What Is The Ranch?

The Ranch is a landmark mixed-use development covering approximately 295 acres in Gilbert, Arizona, located along Power Road between Warner and Elliot Roads. It’s set to become the largest mixed-use project in Gilbert—integrating industrial, residential, commercial, and open-space components into one master-planned community.

Is The Ranch Approved Yet?

Yes. On August 6, 2025, Gilbert’s Planning Commission granted final entitlement approval, clearing the way for permitting and construction to begin.

What’s Included in the Plan?

Phase 1 (Breaking Ground Q4 2025):

• Harvest Village: A neighborhood-style retail center with approximately 51,000 sq ft across seven buildings. It includes around 20,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space, an open-air social plaza, decorative hardscape, lighting, turf, and ample parking.

• Corner Springs: Pad-ready sites featuring 78,000 sq ft of retail, office, restaurant, and patio space. Four drive-thru pad sites plus a lighted pedestrian walkway connecting to adjacent neighborhoods.

• Infrastructure Upgrades: Improvements along Elliot and Power Roads, including new lanes, turn signals, street lighting, and landscaping.

Full Build-out Will Include:

• 3 million sq ft of light industrial space over 221 acres.

• 34 acres of retail offerings—like grocery, full-service restaurants, QSRs with drive-thrus, automotive and neighborhood services.
