Frijoles Village, a 345-acre TND near Santa Fe,

Frijoles Village, a 345-acre TND near Santa Fe, New Mexico, recently received a loan from Los Alamos National Bank to build phase one infrastructure and pay back a $1 million predevelopment loan. Phase one includes 220 residential lots, 20 commercial lots, a community center, and seven live/work units. After buildout, the Duany Plater-Zyberk designed project will include 433 residential units, 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, a central plaza designed by Moule and Polyzoides, and 205 acres of parks, nature preserves and arroyos. The county recently granted developer Frijoles Village LLC, a consortium of 14 landowners, the nineteen variances it needs to begin construction, and the board is scheduled to vote on final approval in May. Groundbreaking is scheduled for fall, 1999, with infrastructure slated for completion in spring, 2000. Los Alamos National Bank plans to have a branch on the central plaza.
