A new city? A new Phoenix?
No its a suburb, one that was founded 90 years ago and was one of many random farm communities through the area that are now Phoenix suburbs.
It is near the confluence of a couple of new highways and is currently a high growth area of the Phoenix Metro due to available land and highway access. Nothing special, and as far as suburbs go its not too far out from city center. Hard to explain exactly but due to mountains and Indian reservations this part of the metro has been hard to get to for a long time and remained largely undeveloped relative to other parts.
Are you talking about the Bill Gates land buy? yeah that smart city nonsense is just that, nonsense, its Bill Gates REIT and he bought a bunch of land west of the city where the prospective I-11 will meet with the I-10. Its just land banking.
