Housing growth along Airport Way is getting ready to take off to the next level.

Three new proposals to build 1,465 more housing units in northwest Manteca along the Airport Way corridor are now being reviewed by the city’s Community Development Department

The largest is 818 homes on seven different parcels — four abutting Airport Way and three adjacent to those along Lovelace Road.

The three proposals also includes a 500-home project being pursued by national builder DR Horton east of Airport Way and immediately north of where Kiper Homes at Indelicato is now putting in infrastructure to build 177 homes nestled against Del Webb at Woodbridge.

DR Horton last year completed the 154-home North Main Commons on North Main Street at Northgate Drive. The firm is currently building 134 homes in Alpine at Villa Ticino along Airport Way at Louise Avenue. Villa Ticino, overall, will add 760 homes plus 324 apartments at build out

Between Villa Ticino, the 827-home Lumina at Machado Ranch (Woodward and Airport), Kiper Homes at Indelicato, the 116-home Kiper duplex project south of Yosemite Greens and the golf course there are lots being created with the installation of infrastructure underway for 1,547 more homes along the Airport Way corridor.

If you add the apartments along the corridor that have been approved or are being reviewed — 92 units in the Center Pointe complex and 24 units in the Waterfall complex between Yosmite and the golf course, 44 units on  Wawona just off Airport and the 324 Villa Ticino units — it adds 484 apartments for 2,131 housing units.

Toss in the three recently submitted projects envisioned to accommodate 1,465 homes and there are 3,596 housing units that are lined up to be added to the Airport Way corridor.

Using the City of Manteca average of 3.11 people per housing unit, those 3,596 homes have the potential to add 11,183 residents to the city’s population.

That is in addition to growth taking place in the south, in the east and various in-fill endeavors in Central Manteca.

To put the potential for 11,183 more residents along the Airport Way corridor in perspective, Ripon currently has a population of 16,092 and Manteca overall is at 95,000.
