Homesteaders in the 1870s, the Fain family has held on to the vision of family and community for over four generations. In the 1960s, Bill Fain, referred to by many as the father of Prescott Valley, crafted this region with hard work and a reputation with a bankable handshake. Today, we are seeing the culmination of this vision and hard work with Prescott Valley’s first luxury apartments sprouting up in the heart of downtown. At the same time, businesses like Foothills Bank, Walmart, Starbucks, Kohl’s, Premier Pet Veterinarian, Fry’s, Ace Distribution Center, and M&I Windows are just a few of the many commercial businesses and retailers the Fain family has brought in to create jobs and support the lifestyle of Northern Arizona’s fastest-growing community.
As I write this article, Prescott Valley celebrates its 40th anniversary. I realize what an amazing accomplishment it is of one man, who in his lifetime built a community from the ground up. It wasn’t long ago when Prescott was the state capital and Lonesome Valley (now Prescott Valley) was home to grazing cattle and antelope meandering in stirrup-high grass. My father (Bill Fain), a third generation native Arizonan, worked hard to create new possibilities in a valley that is not so lonesome anymore. Just before his passing, he witnessed the population of Prescott Valley surpass that of the City of Prescott – a truly amazing accomplishment. Now, Homestead Talking Glass, the Fain Signature Group’s latest development, truly completes the “Live-Work-Play” paradigm. Bill Fain was always so proud of the many business professionals and individuals who saw the vision and, in a sense, rolled up their sleeves and with their blood, sweat and tears helped to build our beloved Prescott Valley. He knew it took a community to build a community, and that collective effort made him proud each and every day with the opening of a new business, a new job being offered and a new family moving to Prescott Valley.
Homestead Talking Glass is a five-phase project and will be composed of 214 dwellings, which will include one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. There will be ample parking, a clubhouse, spa, Jacuzzi, gym, fire pits, meeting room and a dog park, to name just a few of the amenities. We expect to start taking applications 90-120 days prior to occupancy with an anticipated date of completion for Phase I being November 2018.
There is no doubt that if my father was alive today that he would be celebrating this 40th anniversary year of Prescott Valley’s incorporation. The entire Fain Family stands in gratitude for the outstanding public leadership that has guided Prescott Valley over the past 40 years – current and past mayors and councilmembers who, practically speaking, volunteered their time, wisdom, and leadership; the municipal staff of talented men and women, who work daily to keep our community attractive, safe and friendly; and finally, the most important ingredient for success and the reason why Prescott Valley is celebrating 40 years, its citizens who call this town home.
Myself, my brother Brad, and our team at Fain Signature Group are committed to listening to the community and working tirelessly with the Town of Prescott Valley to make an incredible life for all. Check out Homestead Talking Glass at HomesteadTG.com.
Live, Work, Play is in Full Swing at Talking Glass
“We’ve been diligently planning this for a long time. Working with the Town of Prescott Valley and listening for what was needed by our community, it was clear more housing was needed. More importantly, we wanted to design a place that made life better for both our residents and business owners. The Homestead Talking Glass apartments represent the best in planning and design, while also providing a place to live affordably in a downtown environment,” said Anessa Andrews, New Developments, Fain Signature Group. “Residents will be able to walk to their places of work, favorite restaurants, coffee shops or movies. They will even be able to walk across the street to the Prescott Valley Event Center to cheer on our beloved NAZ Suns or attend one of the many ongoing activities at Northern Arizona’s premier indoor event arena. Live, Work, Play is in full swing at Talking Glass.”
