**Empire Group Breaks Ground on 287-Unit Built-to-Rent Community in San Tan Valley**
Empire Group of Companies has officially commenced construction on Village at Borgata, a 287-unit single-family build-to-rent (BTR) community located at 3959 W. Hunt Highway in San Tan Valley, Arizona.
Earlier this year, Empire Group secured $70.25 million in non-recourse construction financing for the project. The financing was arranged by Tower Capital through a debt fund lender. Leasing is anticipated to begin in 2026.
Spanning approximately 27 acres, Village at Borgata will feature one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. Community amenities are set to include a fitness center, leasing clubhouse, recreational green space, dog parks, and an outdoor walking path.
The development is strategically positioned near the future LG Energy Solution battery manufacturing facility in Queen Creek. The facility is expected to generate thousands of jobs and act as a significant economic catalyst for the greater Phoenix metro area.
Industry professionals can prepare to meet the nation’s top owners, investors, developers, brokers, and lenders at a key multifamily investment conference in Los Angeles on September 11. This one-day event offers the opportunity to connect with decision-makers, share insights, and forge business relationships that move deals forward.
