Gas Street Lighting Sets Legacy Apart



Gas street lighting has not played a significant role in the new home building industry in the Southwest. Legacy Mesa by Cooley Park Development (legacyarizona.com) is to be the first and only new home community in the Valley to incorporate substantial amounts of gas street lighting throughout their community. Scott Strable with the City of Mesa Resources Division stated that gas lighting is a rarity and 's8220;only promoted to the most upscale new developments's8221;. The City of Mesa is excited that Legacy is installing gas lighting throughout their community and note their aesthetic advantages in comparison to more widely used street lighting.



While it is an upscale new development, Legacy's8217;s use of the prestigious open flame gas light lampposts began as a part of their quest to provide an authentic environment reminiscent of the quality and beauty of old world architecture as it was introduced to America over a century ago. The purpose of Legacy's8217;s community planning in its entirety was to create a vision of days past; a group of homes historical in appearance that also provide residents with every modern amenity available. The gas light lampposts used in the community stand 14 feet tall and are authentic not only in essence, but in actuality. The lampposts were obtained through a Pennsylvanian company that has been in the business of creating gas street lighting for 100 years.



Legacy's8217;s dedication to authenticity of design only begins with the open flame gas lighting. Legacy is located on McLellan off of Val Vista in the sought after Northeast Mesa Citrus Corridor and community planners worked with the native land attributes by preserving orange trees, incorporating them into the landscape architecture of community areas as well as individual lot designs. Mature elm trees line the streets creating a canopy of greenery under which the gas lampposts will create an ambience never before seen in the area. From hand forged iron gates of hammered steel to a functioning gatehouse fully equipped with a bathroom, heat, and air every detail has been molded to present a unified front of modern convenience and classical style. Legacy represents the desires of residents; what homeowners are looking for Legacy planners incorporated into the design of the community. For instance, approximately 70% of homeowners desire cul-de-sac lots so 70% of Legacy lots are located in cul-de-sacs. This reflects the Legacy dedication to elevate community planning standards while allowing residents to simultaneously enjoy a sense of community and a sense of privacy.



Upscale custom home communities are a rarity among new home construction in the Valley; especially in the Northeast Mesa area. The rarity of the development type itself in no way diminishes the obvious and successful efforts Legacy planners took to ensure that even when compared to the most prominent of upscale custom communities; Legacy will still be a community standing alone.
