Lusitano by Tri Pointe Homes: A New Gilbert Community to Watch in 2026

If you’ve noticed activity near Greenfield Road and Pecos Road, you’re not imagining it. A new residential community called Lusitano by Tri Pointe Homes is moving through development in South Gilbert — and it’s one worth understanding, whether you’re buying or simply live nearby.

Here’s what we know so far.

📍 Where Is Lusitano Located?

Lusitano is planned for the southwest corner of Greenfield Rd & Pecos Rd in Gilbert, Arizona.

This location offers convenient access to:

• Loop 202
• SanTan Village
• Discovery Park
• Gilbert Temple
• Established residential neighborhoods

South Gilbert continues to attract move-up buyers looking for larger lots and proximity to both retail and freeway access.

🏘 Community Overview

According to public reporting:

• 76 single-family homes
• Approximately 40 acres
• Lot sizes ranging from ~10,000 to 24,000 square feet
• Single-story floor plans
• Homes reported around 3,500–3,600+ square feet
  

This is considered a lower-density project compared to many large master-planned communities in Gilbert. Fewer homes on larger lots typically attract buyers prioritizing space and privacy.

📆 Timeline

Public sources have suggested sales could begin around 2027, though development timelines can shift based on approvals and construction schedules. Site activity has been observed, but as with all new construction communities, release timing may evolve.

If you’re considering new construction in Gilbert, early awareness is helpful — even if purchase timing is later.

What Lusitano Means for Buyers

For buyers exploring new homes in Gilbert AZ, Lusitano may appeal if you’re looking for:

• Larger lot sizes
• Single-story living
• A smaller community footprint
• South Gilbert location

However, new construction buyers should evaluate:

• Base pricing vs lot premiums
• Upgrade costs
• HOA structure
• Comparable resale options nearby

Sometimes resale homes in established neighborhoods offer similar square footage without build timelines.

What Lusitano Means for Nearby Homeowners

If you own near Greenfield & Pecos, this development matters.

New construction communities often:

• Create new comparable sales once homes close
• Shift buyer attention toward certain lot sizes or layouts
• Influence long-term pricing conversations

It won’t change values overnight — but it does contribute to how the micro-market evolves.

My Perspective as a Gilbert Realtor

At 76 homes, Lusitano is not a massive expansion. It’s a contained, higher-end pocket development — which tends to attract buyers seeking quality over density.

As more details become available (floor plans, pricing, release dates), the bigger picture will become clearer.

If you’d like updates as this development progresses — or want to understand how it impacts your specific neighborhood — I’m happy to keep you informed.
