Mesa del Sol - People Friendly Living Coming to Albuquerque!
We have been following the progress toward development of this Master Planned Community for more than ten years. Naturally, we have some opinions about it!
When the folks at Forest City Mesa del Sol invited us to be interviewed as "Visionaries" to talk about Mesa del Sol, we were pleased and flattered.
Here's a bit of the interview...

As we've traveled around visiting cities and developed our principles of people-friendly cities, it's been tempting for us to think about Mesa del Sol and how closely it aligns with our principles.
I would say that from what we've seen of the plans and in talking with the folks from Mesa del Sol, we are very encouraged that they're going in the right direction.
It was really an interesting idea to us to think that you could build a place that's walkable and bikeable and that we wouldn't have to go everywhere in a car. That's really one of the great charms of what Mesa del Sol is going to be. Also Mesa del Sol envisions a variety of different styles of homes, which I think is a good thing. One of the things that we've observed in cities of distinguished design and charm is that there are many different styles blended together. That's pleasing to the human eye.
In a nutshell, we wish we could be the first to live there.
