Mesa del Sol

Mesa del Sol (Spanish for "table of the sun") is an uncompleted 16,000-acre (6,500 ha) mixed-use master planned community in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Mesa del Sol is a sustainable city with plans to build 37,000 homes on 4,400 acres (1,800 ha) of residential property and 18,000,000 square feet (1,700,000 m2) of office, industrial, and retail space.

It is bounded by the Albuquerque International Sunport along the northwestern edge, Kirtland Air Force Base on the north and east sides, the Isleta Reservation to the south, and Interstate 25 to the west.

In 2002, after an open bid process, the New Mexico State Land Office selected Forest City Enterprises as the developer of Mesa del Sol.

[11] The smaller of the two former Schott Solar structures will be taken over by a Springfield, Missouri-based plastic pipe manufacturer for its second facility at the Mesa del Sol master-planned community.

[13] The long-term development plan of the Land Office envisions up to nine towns, recreational areas, and industrial employment sectors that are all connected to the rest of Albuquerque by light rail.
