Mesa del Sol is a 12,900-acre, 20-square-mile community designed for the southeast mesa in Albuquerque, N.M. It is strategically located just minutes south of the city’s airport and downtown. Mesa del Sol is a New Urbanism development that is a walkable, mixed-use urban development, in contrast to the automobile-dependant suburban developments of the past.

The development is being designed with villages, community centers, employment centers and other features within the boundaries of the city of Albuquerque. The master plan calls for a truly mixed-use development, incorporating industrial/commercial and offices, apartments, duplexes and single-family homes. It will have supporting retailers, and of course, defined open space. In addition, there will be large and small parks, the Bernalillo County Recreation complex, public and private schools and a college campus. Residents will have the luxury of a short, convenient trip to work, via pedestrian-friendly bicycle paths, and will also be able to enjoy the many recreational areas and open spaces.

Mesa del Sol is a true public/private partnership from its funding and design to its actual construction with participation from Forest City Covington, the University of New Mexico, the State Land Office, the State of New Mexico, The city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.
