Dominium has officially closed on land in Goodyear for Vivir at Ballpark Village, a 400-unit affordable housing community slated for 15235 West Lower Buckeye Parkway. Part of the financing will come through federal low-income housing tax credits, and the deal adds another project to Dominium’s growing Arizona pipeline as demand for income-restricted housing keeps building across the Phoenix metro.
Funding and partners
According to Multi-Housing News, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program will help finance Vivir at Ballpark Village, with additional players in the capital stack that include Freddie Mac, Capital One, U.S. Bank, Barclays and the Arizona Industrial Development Authority. Plans call for a clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool, playground and outdoor gathering spaces, and WD Construction, a joint venture between Dominium and Weis Builders, will lead construction. Dominium confirmed the closing in a company announcement on LinkedIn.
Why the timing matters
The deal lands at a tense moment for Arizona renters. A 2025 report from the Arizona Research Center for Housing and Economic Solutions at Arizona State University found that by 2023 the state’s rent-price index had climbed to 108.6 and that more than half of renter households were cost-burdened. That affordability crunch has pushed public agencies and private developers to lean into subsidized projects that can serve lower-income families across the Valley.
What’s next for the project
Dominium has not released an expected completion date, total development cost or detailed unit mix for Vivir at Ballpark Village, per Multi-Housing News. The Arizona Department of Housing reposted Dominium’s announcement and laid out key pieces of the financing structure, including a Freddie Mac permanent mortgage serviced by Capital One, tax-exempt construction loans from Barclays and Fundamental Advisors, and bonds issued through the Arizona Industrial Development Authority. Those posts did not include a construction timetable. The agency and Dominium say they plan to share more details as milestones are hit, while Dominium continues work on other Phoenix-area affordable efforts such as its 278-unit Townhomes on Earley project in Casa Grande.
