No less than six new subdivisions with the ability to add nearly 2,600 more homes to Manteca will be in full construction mode in 2022.

The latest is Villa Ticino West on the southwest corner of Airport Way and Louise Avenue. Originally approved in 2015 on property once owned by the late cattle broker and hay hauler Andrew Rossi, a Roseville-based firm is seeking permission to start grading and construction prior to approval of a final map.

The City Council will consider the request when it meets Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Civic Center, 1001 W. Center St.

The 760 homes are part of the first — and likely the last — residential subdivision to be built west of Airport Way and north of the 120 Bypass in Manteca.

An effort to convert the 229-acre site several years ago into more than 4 million square feet of distribution centers fell through.

The single family home portion of the work is moving forward. There is also a 12.4 acre parcel approved for 248 apartment units along Louise Avenue across from the Manteca Unified district office complex as well as a 19.17 acre neighborhood commercial parcel on the southwest corner of Airport Way and Louise Avenue are not moving forward at this time.

The work means segments of Louise Avenue and Airport Way adjacent to Villa Ticino West will be upgraded and widened to two lanes for what eventually will be four-lane wide roadways.

Access to the neighborhood from Louise Avenue will be at an existing traffic signal tying into the Pacific Business Center business park west of the MUSD office complex.

The primary access from Airport Way will be via an extension of Crom Street. Another 99 homes in a neighborhood dubbed Yosemite Greens has been approved for 11.9 acres on the southwest corner of Airport Way and Crom Street.  Yosemite Greens, as of now, is not included in the neighborhoods expected to be under construction in 2022.

 A 2018 amendment to the Villa Ticino West development agreement released the developer from building a fire station on Louise Avenue in exchange to contributing $300,000 toward building the city’s fire station at Woodward Avenue and Atherton Drive that opened last year. The need for the Louise Avenue station was eliminated with the opening of the Lathrop Road fire station near Del Webb at Woodbridge.

Other subdivisions

building in 2022

Once Villa Ticino West is included in the tally, there will be sixsubdivisions under construction in Manteca in 2022.

The largest — Griffin Park along South Main Street south of Woodward Avenue — is now building the first of 1,301 homes. The first occupants are anticipated by spring.

Streets and other infrastructure are now being constructed for the 154-home North Main Street Commons on the east side of North Main Street at Northgate Drive. Work on the first homes will start in early 2022.

There are three other neighborhoods in the process of being developed — Trumark Homes on Louise Avenue and west of Cottage Avenue — and three new communities along Woodward Avenue. There are roughly 300 more housing units that can still be built among the four subdivisions.
