La Posada Unveils Newest “Green” Retirement Community
La Posada Unveils Newest “Green” Retirement Community
Tucson, Ariz. (Vocus) August 14, 2009
One retirement community in Arizona is on the cutting-edge of residential construction through its use of green building practices. The most eco-friendly and eco-conscious designs and technology are at the forefront of this new neighborhood. La Posada announces Park Centre Homes, a state-of-the-art addition to the campus that will be specifically constructed to offer the healthiest, greenest lifestyles in Arizona.
La Posada, a 100-acre continuing care retirement community, is nestled among the pecan groves of Green Valley located less than 30 miles away from Tucson, AZ, recently voted one of the “Best Places to Live the Simple Life” by AARP Magazine. Reservations are now being accepted for Park Centre Homes, the newest component to the campus. Consisting of 35 beautiful homes, this will be the last independent living community to be built at La Posada.
“We are very excited to announce this new addition to our growing La Posada campus,” stated Tim Carmichael, Vice President of Marketing. “We have taken great care in ensuring Park Centre Homes have the latest eco-friendly technology and that all floor plans are completely customizable. In addition to the exceptional lifestyle, I know residents will appreciate the ‘green’ aspect.”
With Park Centre Homes’ focus on “green” building, La Posada is pleased to be working in conjunction with Pepper Viner Homes of Tucson, Arizona on this project. Pepper Viner is a leader in environmentally-friendly residential construction
The Park Centre Homes were deliberately designed with the flexibility to position the homes on each individual lot to maximize each home’s architectural features. This allows for the shading of major living spaces and patios as well as greater access to the home from the street. To combat the warm Arizona afternoon sun, Park Centre Homes have two patios, both accessible from the great room. This orientation ensures at least one patio is always shaded from the sun.
Some home plans, based on their orientation and site location, offer window features that allow more natural light, but all floor plans utilize solar tubes that collect and diffuse natural light into halls and closet areas. Landscaping and the strategic use of trees will be an integral part of each Park Centre home. Trees will be planted in specific locations and in sufficient numbers to provide a natural heat barrier to the home.
Park Centre Homes is introducing Southern Arizona to new construction methods for residential building, designed to accommodate future environmentally “green” features. This includes the use of greywater systems, environmentally-sensitive concrete slabs, structural insulated panels and more.
Each interior item in a Park Centre Home has been selected to meet the U.S. Green Building Councils standards. This means a Park Centre Homed will provide a clean and healthy environment in which to live.

The campus includes exceptional housing options and numerous support services in the areas of Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Healthcare.

Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities Announces Two Properties on 50 Best Master-Planned Communities List from Where to Retire Magazine
Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities Announces Two Properties on 50 Best Master-Planned Communities List from Where to Retire Magazine
Scottsdale and Peoria, AZ and Nipomo, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2011
Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities, a division within Shea Homes dedicated to developing resort, retirement communities geared to the baby boomer generation, is today announcing that two of its communities have been listed on The Top 50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the United States from Where to Retire. The magazine’s “The Short List: 50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the United States,” which will appear in the July/August issue on newsstands, includes Trilogy at Vistancia in Peoria, Arizona and Trilogy at Monarch Dunes in Nipomo, California.
Where to Retire editors began gathering information on more than 150 communities across the nation about a year ago and zeroed in on those “that are amenity-rich, with clubhouses, recreation and activities to help residents stay fully engaged.” The list includes communities profiled in alphabetical order from 17 states, including places beyond traditional retirement havens.
“Like the people who inhabit them, no two master-planned developments are exactly alike. Yet, the combination of amenities and social opportunities at each produces a common result: the interesting, active and fulfilling lifestyle retirees seek. Clubhouses, fitness centers, social clubs and educational classes mean residents get much more than a house at a planned community,” said Where to Retire Publisher Karen Northridge.
“We are honored at Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities to have two of our 11 Trilogy resort communities—Trilogy at Monarch Dunes and Trilogy at Vistancia, for a second year—recognized as leading master planned communities in the U.S. We think our success can be attributed to the fact that She Homes is focused on providing our active adult homeowners with a complete lifestyle that does not just focus on a beautiful and functional residence, but revolves around a life of wellness, exploration, freedom and close personal connections. Though home sales may be down across the country by 15 percent year over year, Trilogy home sales are up 28 percent, affirming that we are providing boomers with the amenities and a lifestyle that appeals to them in retirement,” said Rick Andreen, president of Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities.
Trilogy at Vistancia is located in the foothills of north Peoria in the Northwest Phoenix metro area in a pristine desert setting that’s close to great shopping, dining and entertainment. It is the number one selling active adult community in Arizona. Vistancia was named America’s Best Master Planned Community in 2005, as well.
Trilogy is located within the Vistancia master planned community, which includes a thoughtfully organized collection of multi-generational family villages, all connected by a hiking-trail system. At the heart of Trilogy is the Kiva Club, a 35,000-square-foot hub for activity, fitness and social connections. Under its roof, the state-of-the-art athletic club includes everything from cutting-edge fitness equipment to Tai Chi classes, yoga and fitness trainers. Members can indulge in a massage or facial treatment at the Alvea Spa or enjoy dining with friends at Café Solaz or The Verde Grill.
Trilogy at Monarch Dunes is a community for all ages, surrounded by eucalyptus groves, just 15 minutes from Pismo Beach and situated amidst the award-winning Monarch Dunes Golf Course and the newly opened 12-hole Challenge Course. It offers the only all-inclusive resort on the Central Coast, The Monarch Club.
The Monarch Club is rich in architecture, chic design and five-star amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, complete with Techno Gym, strength and cardio equipment and an array of classes taught by professional trainers; a lap, resort pool with cabanas; luxurious, full-service Sandalwood Spa; The Grand Living Room with sprawling windows and two fireplaces; eclectic dining options, including Adelina’s Bistro and The Marketplace; The Avila Room events center for member and non-member social functions; an art studio; a sculpture garden; a wine library, and the Adventure Isle play area for grandchildren.
Homes at both Trilogy at Vistancia and Trilogy at Monarch Dunes meet Energy Star and Environments For Living® standards. Every home is also 100 percent Shea Green Certified™, the builder’s proprietary process that incorporates green features as standard in every home to help residents save up to 40 percent on energy usage compared to other new homes and even more over older homes. Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities has built over 2,100 Shea Green Certified Homes, since 2007.
Where to Retire, launched in 1992, is published six times each year. Every issue profiles top retirement towns, both undiscovered and well-known, and master-planned communities that cater to retirees. Where to Retire can be found on newsstands, including at Barnes & Noble bookstores.

Alex & Gaxiola Legal Team Files Bold Motions to Disqualify Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Criminal Cases Pending in Superior Court
Alex & Gaxiola Legal Team Files Bold Motions to Disqualify Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Criminal Cases Pending in Superior Court
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 31, 2009
In motions filed this month with the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, attorneys from the Phoenix-based law firm Alex & Gaxiola moved to disqualify the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO) from prosecuting multiple clients facing criminal charges in Phoenix.
In the firm’s case, State of Arizona v. Robert Eugene Cole (Case No. CR2009-006715-001 DT) and in other cases involving similar issues, highly regarded Phoenix attorney Richard Gaxiola filed defense motions last week to disqualify the MCAO on the grounds that the MCAO’s recent pursuit of criminal charges against several active and retired Maricopa County Superior Court judges created a prosecutorial conflict of interest.
Earlier this month, prosecutors working for Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas charged the county’s presiding criminal court judge, Gary Donahoe, with three felonies, including bribery. The MCAO has also alleged violations of the RICO Act by current and former county judges they claim are part of a “criminal enterprise.” Meanwhile, deputies working for controversial Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio – a well-known ally of Thomas – visited the homes of several members of the court staff in what the employees perceived as an attempt at intimidation.
“It appears that there is no end to the MCAO’s intent on bringing public distrust against our judiciary,” said Gaxiola, whose firm handles a wide range of litigation in Arizona. “Clearly, the appropriate procedure is to disqualify the MCAO from any further prosecution and allow the federal complaint and Maricopa County complaint to run their legal course. This would ensure the reinstatement of the public’s trust in our judiciary and Arizona criminal justice system.”
A flurry of recent legal activity from the defense bar led Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Rebecca White Berch to issue Administrative Order 2009-124 on December 23rd, a unique order that appointed retired Arizona Chief Justice Ruth V. McGregor as a Special Master to oversee the administration of all matters arising from the MCAO controversy, including the motions to disqualify that have been filed by Gaxiola and other defense attorneys.
