Affordable housing developer to sell site of controversial Chandler apartment proposal

Dominium is abandoning plans for a 218-unit affordable housing project near Chandler after intense neighborhood opposition. The 23-acre site, located on a county island, became a symbol of growing “Not In My Backyard” battles in the Valley. Despite scaling down the original proposal, the project faced continued backlash. Limited zoning for multifamily housing in Arizona makes such developments especially difficult.
