Greenlight Communities has closed on its first community in south Tempe.
Found at the southwest corner of Guadalupe and Kyrene Roads, at 515 West Guadalupe Road in Tempe, Cabana Kyrene represents a development to offer the local workforce attainable rental housing in Tempe.
Cabana Kyrene will offer 229 residences spread across six three-story buildings, Greenlight Communities representatives tell the Digital Free Press.
“Tempe desperately needs housing developments like Cabana Kyrene to accommodate the needs of our community members and keep more of them living, working and recreating right here in the city,” said Tempe Mayor Corey Woods, in a prepared statement. “Cabana Kyrene’s 229 new residences will not only support our local workforce, but also provide much-needed relief for families and renters who’ve long been priced out of local markets.”
Cabana Kyrene will feature 90 studios, 93 one-bedroom, and 46 two-bedroom units, along with a range of sought-after amenities aimed at enhancing the living experience. Highlights include a pool, a fully equipped fitness center, and Wi-Fi-enabled co-working spaces for residents.
“Cabana Kyrene is more than just a great place to live — it’s a community thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of today’s modern families and local workforce,” said Patricia Watts, co-founder of Greenlight Communities. “Our vision was to create a community that not only elevates the quality of life for its residents but also keeps rents attainable. With Cabana Kyrene, we’ve successfully achieved that balance.”
Greenlight Communities was established seven years ago with the mission of increasing attainable and workforce housing options in Arizona.
