Albuquerque Business First has a story about housing construction on Mesa del Sol and the hundreds of new lots that Titan Development is getting ready for four homebuilders to build upon. They recently announced the completion of infrastructure for 167 of those lots and the story breaks down exactly how they will be divided and built out by each of the homebuilders.
The story includes a nice pic of University Boulevard and the Mesa del Sol sign and welcome monument with the recently-completed Encanto Mesa del Sol apartments visible in the background.

Four prominent homebuilders are set to bring a diverse range of housing options to Albuquerque's Montage division inside the Mesa del Sol master-planned community, with plans ranging from cozy starter homes to spacious family residences.
Titan and Mesa del Sol Investments have partnered to deliver residential opportunities in Mesa del Sol, a 12,900-acre master-planned community in southern Albuquerque. MDS Investments contributes the land for each subdivision, and Titan gets the necessary entitlements, coordinates the contractors and sells the lots to homebuilders as per their partnership agreement.
After Titan Development and MDS Investments announced May 13 the completion of infrastructure for 167 single-family residential lots within the Montage community, homebuilders detailed their plans for those spaces.
“Our goal in this is to provide a consistent inventory of lots so they (homebuilders) don’t gap out,” Titan Development Partner Brian Patterson said. “The last thing I want is, they burn through all their lots and they’re waiting six months to a year for the next lots.”
The 167 lots that Titan and MDS Investments recently completed represent Phase 5 of the Montage community, which has a total of 872 lots, Patterson said.
Construction on the Montage community’s 2.5-acre park with a swimming pool is planned to start this summer, Patterson said.
Titan sold lots from Phase 5 of Montage to four homebuilders — Abrazo Homes, D.R. Horton, Richmond American Homes and Twilight Homes — for residential construction. As of publication, those four homebuilders have purchased about 60% of those lots available for construction.
Read on for a detailed look at each homebuilder’s plans in Montage's Phase 5.
Abrazo Homes
Abrazo Homes will build about 50 homes in Phase 5 of Montage. It declined to disclose how much it paid to purchase those lots.
The builder will work two phases within Montage's Phase 5 — the Vintner lineup and the Brewer lineup, according to Abrazo Homes’ Sheena Ramos.
The floor plans for the Vintner lineup range in size from 1,146 square feet to 2,213 square feet, and the floor plans for the Brewer lineup range in size from 1,852 square feet to 2,593 square feet.
The Vintner lineup has floor plans with between two and four bedrooms, and the Brewer lineup has floor plans with between three and four bedrooms. Floor plans for each lineup have one- and two-story options.
Home prices in the Vintner lineup will start at $356,940 and go to $459,940, and homes prices in the Brewer lineup will start at $454,950 and go to $519,950.
D.R. Horton
D.R. Horton will build 34 homes in Montage's Phase 5.
The homes will range in size from 1,400 square feet to 2,100 square feet and will come in one- or two-story options, according to D.R. Horton Region Marketing Manager Becca Jenks in an email statement.
The homes will have either three or four bedrooms, and it's unknown at this time what the price range for the homes will be, Jenks said.
D.R. Horton did not disclose how much it paid to purchase the lots.
Richmond American Homes
Richmond American Homes plans to build 53 homes in Phase 5 of Montage, but it declined to disclose how much it paid to purchase those lots.
Richmond American’s homes in Montage's Phase 5 will have four different floor plans — Arlington, Augusta, Hemingway and Yorktown.
Those floor plans will range in square footage from 1,810 square feet to 3,110 square feet, according to Richmond American Homes New Mexico Marketing Manager Mari Montes.
These homes will be either one or two stories and will have between three and five bedrooms, two and four bathrooms and two- or three-car garages.
The homes will cost between $457,000 and $600,000.
Twilight Homes
Twilight Homes will build 88 homes in Phase 5 of Montage, but it declined to disclose how much it paid to purchase the lots for those homes.
Those homes will range in size from 1,200 square feet to 3,500 square feet, according to Tim McNaney, Twilight Homes co-president.
The homes will have between two and six bedrooms and will range in price from $ 410,000 up to $750,000, McNaney said.
Twilight Homes sales counselor in Mesa del Sol is Samual Salazer, McNaney said.

The Albuquerque Journal had a similar story about the new lots and home construction on Mesa del Sol late last month as well. Their story includes another nice pic of the actual homes being built on Mesa del Sol.

Momentum is building at Mesa del Sol with the completion of infrastructure for 167 single-family residential lots.
Mesa del Sol, a 12,900-acre master-planned community in southern Albuquerque, has emerged as a hub for commercial and residential growth in recent years. The community’s growth coincides with numerous employers planting roots in the area, including Netflix, Maxeon Solar Technologies and Kairos Power.
Officials with Titan Development and MDS Investments provided the 167-lot infrastructure update this month, saying in a news release that it marks “a significant milestone in addressing Albuquerque’s growing housing demand.”
With grading, utilities and roads complete and approved by the city of Albuquerque, homebuilders can now begin construction on the 167 lots belonging to Montage 5 — one of seven phases that will complete the 872-lot plan for the Montage subdivision at Mesa del Sol, said Brian Patterson, partner at Titan Development.
So far, the subdivision has seen 617 lots handed over to builders and roughly 600 homes built, Patterson added.
Patterson said 60% of the 167 lots belonging to Montage 5 have already been sold to builders, including Abrazo Homes, Richmond American Homes, Twilight Homes and D.R. Horton, and construction for some lots has already begun. Some of the first homes built on the 167 lots might be ready by the end of this summer, he said.
Mesa del Sol has been at the center of development talks for roughly two decades, according to previous Journal reporting. In recent years, the project has gained momentum as a hub for single-family residential development, spurred by large companies and their employees settling in the area.
There are more residential development plans in place for the future, Patterson said. The community could grow by thousands more units, according to a master plan for the community.
Mesa del Sol has long been viewed as a key area in addressing the city’s ongoing housing shortage, with estimates the community could house up to 150,000 residents in the future.
Steven Chavez, managing partner at MDS Investments, called the recent infrastructure completion for the 167 lots “a major step forward in our vision for Mesa del Sol.”
“This project is not just about building homes; it’s about building a stronger Albuquerque by creating a sustainable, well-connected community where people can live and work,” Chavez said.
