Shaping a visionary community
In the latest developer podcast, Marlo Dykeman, Jasper’s executive director, sits down with Jason Gisi, president and CEO of Jasper Eco Dev (JED) and Stuart Swanson, chairman of Arizona Eco Dev (AED) and Jasper Eco Dev to explore the journey of creating Jasper. From early design hurdles to the present day success, the conversation highlighted Jasper’s growth, innovation, and commitment to excellence.
Designing Jasper's aesthetic
Jason and Stuart reflected on their desire to break from traditional, dated styles typically seen in the area. Jasper’s clean, contemporary design drew inspiration from Phoenix’s industrial-vibe eateries, creating a unique aesthetic. While early challenges tested their resolve, the result was a distinctive concept that sets Jasper apart. Future phases promise even more variety, as Stuart emphasized balancing new architectural elements while keeping a cohesive feel throughout the community.
Expanding community offerings
The discussion also touched on the eagerly anticipated Phase Three which includes premium lots with views and a public trailhead with parking and restrooms.
JED’s commitment to enhancing amenities is guided by resident input, use and needs. A prime example is the upcoming Jasper Parkway South, projected to open before March 31. Residents will have the unique opportunity to explore this new section of road before its grand opening to the general public.
While plans for future amenities, like a second gym and a trailhead are still evolving, Jasper remains focused on creating spaces that serve its residents in meaningful ways. By listening to feedback, JED continues to consider amenities that reflect the desires of those who call it home.
Resident-centered growth
Community feedback continues to shape Jasper’s future. Recent events like the Holiday Spectacular underscored the importance of resident engagement. Updates on the dog park, specifically the request for separate areas for small and large dogs, highlight how the developer listens and adapts to resident needs and desires. Programs such as Jasper Leadership and the Warm Welcome Committee are a testament to Community Life’s commitment to foster deeper community ties.
Innovation for the future
The debut of ECCO Homes is a commitment to innovation. This partnership between Jasper Eco Dev and Capstone Homes is a way to ensure each phase of Jasper remains ahead of market trends. Incorporating local technologies, like Frame Tech, showcases the forward-thinking approach driving Jasper’s success.
Legacy and vision
As Jasper evolves, its impact on Prescott Valley is clear. From elevating local home values to creating a community that stands out, Jason and Suart remained committed to continuous improvement. Their focus on market driven decisions and the dynamic real estate landscape ensures Jasper stays at the forefront of community development.
With Phase Three on the horizon and new architectural styles in the works, Jasper is poised for an exciting future. Stay tuned for more updates as this innovative community continues to thrive.
