West Valley Properties

Way back when Sanctuary was under construction the first time in 2009, Matt was lucky enough to get a tour and took lots of photos. And those photos (plus others used for marketing) are pretty much all I’ve seen of this place until today’s preview when I finally got inside. All of the units are now complete (or very nearly so), two were fully staged, and the rest were open for all to explore.

In short, I think the 12 units at the Sanctuary are amazing. Truly awesome. If you don’t take the opportunity this week or next to get in and explore each and every unique offering, you will regret it. It do
