WOODPATEL’s Role in the Alamar Master Planned Community
As Arizona’s West Valley continues to experience unprecedented growth, the need for thoughtful, forward-looking community planning is more important than ever. Set at the base of the Sierra Estrella Mountains, the Alamar master planned community in Avondale is a shining example of how intentional design and strategic engineering can come together to create vibrant, resilient neighborhoods that celebrate both people and place.
Spanning 1,130 acres, Alamar is designed with families and connectivity at its core. The community features:
-
Dozens of neighborhood parks, each with a unique theme and design
-
The expansive 40-acre Haymoon Park as a central gathering space
-
Schools, a community pool, and a full amenity center
-
Miles of scenic trails that weave through the natural desert landscape
Each phase of Alamar reinforces a healthy, outdoor-oriented lifestyle while honoring the region’s agrarian roots and panoramic mountain views.
Overcoming Challenges with Smart Engineering
One of the most complex aspects of this project was its geography. The site was originally constrained by widespread FEMA-designated floodplains, which limited the potential for development and required a highly technical approach to land planning.
That’s where WOODPATEL stepped in. In partnership with Brookfield Residential, our civil engineering team:
-
Engineered a comprehensive drainage system that redefined floodplain boundaries
-
Unlocked over 50 acres of previously unbuildable land for development
-
Provided construction inspection services to ensure quality and compliance at every stage
This solution not only addressed the site’s flood risk but laid the groundwork for a more connected, livable community, one designed to endure and evolve with Arizona’s growth.
Building More Than Infrastructure
Alamar is more than a housing development, it’s a long-term investment in community. It reflects a vision where urban planning, environmental sensitivity, and civil engineering work in harmony to shape how families live, gather, and grow.
At WOODPATEL, we’re proud to be a part of projects that create, connect, and protect the places where Arizonans call home. Alamar is a powerful demonstration of how engineering excellence can help communities not only keep up with growth, but thrive through it.
