The power of partnerships
Jason Gisi and Rick Radavich
In the latest and final installment of Jasper’s Developer Update podcast series on partnerships, Executive Director Marlo Dykeman sits down with long-time partners Jason Gisi, Jasper Eco Dev’s president and CEO, and Rick Radavich, owner of Prescor Builders, to reflect on the evolution of Jasper and the meaningful relationships that shaped it.
From the beginning, Jasper has been anything but conventional. Jason and Rick first began discussing the project back in 2015, bringing a vision to life that aimed to raise the bar for what a Prescott Valley community could be. With Jason leading land acquisition and Rick focused on design and engineering, their collaboration has been defined by mutual trust, innovation, and adaptability.
Throughout the conversation, the pair share insights into the behind-the-scenes work that goes into building a community — from zoning and securing water to grading roads and managing weekly construction meetings. They also reflect on the pride they feel in Jasper’s success and the quality of homes now standing where there was once only a vision.
Their message is clear: Jasper was designed with intention, built on trust, and continues to evolve with its residents in mind.
"Jasper was never meant to be just another subdivision — it was meant to be better. And that vision has come to life because of strong relationships and shared goals."
Listen to the full podcast to hear updates on Phase Three, Jasper Parkway, and what’s ahead — from roadway extensions to ongoing enhancements at J Club, including liquor sales and future pool heating. Jason and Rick also speak candidly about the challenges of balancing resident desires with financial sustainability, and how market demand plays a role in funding future amenities like playgrounds and indoor dining space.
Highlights
Phase Three Development
New homesites are in progress, offering great views and more housing variety. Terrain and infrastructure work is underway despite unseen delays. The much anticipated Capstone (J8) and ECCO models will open in June.
Jasper Parkway
The parkway is complete. Remaining work includes final sign installations. The town of Prescott Valley will be responsible for the long-term maintenance.
Future roadway connections
Stillwell Parkway opening in the coming weeks for connectivity to Phase 3 and Jasper Parkway. Plans are in place to extend Jasper Parkway to Alcoma Avenue and Stillwell Parkway, with the possibility of future access to Dells Ranch Road, dependent on market demand and funding.
Capital improvements at amenities
- Dog park fixes: Top priority with improvements expected soon.
- Liquor sales: Efforts are underway to secure permitting and operational logistics.
- Main pool heating: On the wait list but likely delayed due to budget constraints. Lap pool will be heated seasonally.
Long term community enhancements
Amenities like a playground and indoor restaurant space are being considered but will depend on resident demand and financial feasibility.
