SMART
Mesa del Sol is focused on smart development centered around technology and the strength of community planning to prioritize our growth with an eye on our future.
Microgrid Technology
Connecting people, information, and technology to improve quality of life, education, innovation, and information access.
Cohesive Infrastructure
Starting with smart infrastructure related to commercial, residential and shared resource development will include irrigation systems, highest-speed internet access, roads and public transportation with full integration into existing city transportation, as well as smart transport within Mesa del Sol.
Smart Transportation
The Mesa del Sol development team is committed to designing and implementing a smart transportation system that will allow residents to navigate with safety and ease throughout the merging community. This may include autonomous vehicles as well as electric vehicle and scooter networks with many charging stations to support the network.
Community Planning
Great strides will be made to foster premium education at Mesa del Sol, through local schools that will receive additional financial support from funds generated through Mesa del Sol area improvements that provide long-term income. Residential community planning at Mesa del Sol fosters inclusion and acceptance of all walks of life and is designed to self-support and sustain the quality of life we all deserve. Available and accessible housing consists of a healthy mix of single-family residences, corporate housing and multi- unit structures, as well as lower income housing. We are planning unprecedented strides toward introducing more high-paying employment opportunities on Mesa del Sol. Data centers, tech campuses and new warehousing will be constructed to sustain research and emerging technology companies and provide for the addition of more manufacturing opportunities. Through these efforts, we can retain local talent, and support improved career paths for students from our state universities.
SUSTAINABLE
It’s up to us to plan for this impact and create a micro-city at Mesa del Sol that can be used as an example.
Green & Natural Space Preservation
We are planning for additional large green spaces, as well as walk/biking trails that will interconnect different areas of the community preserving much of the natural landscape, vegetation and habitats for New Mexico’s animal population.
Environmental Sustainability
With environmental sustainability and resource preservation at the core of our development choices, we’ll approach Mesa del Sol planning using a method called geodesign. In this practice, we can responsibly manage natural resources while considering the future impact of population growth in the area—and the carbon footprint we’ll leave behind for future generations. This community is better positioned to provide citizens a sustainable future that won’t compromise the land, water or air quality essential to our lives.
Renewable Energy Generation
Priorities in the progression of Mesa del Sol are energy generation from solar and wind power, shared garden space, and smart waste and water management.
SAFE
With the use of technology, smart devices, and citizen reporting, a safe neighborhood networking solution will be developed allowing for a collective approach to public safety.
Access Points
When we limit the entry and exit points of a community it limits whose coming in and out. It provides a natural level of protection for the community.
Asset Tracking Technology
We are looking into asset tracking technology that can capture whose coming and going. This allows us to gather the information that can keep us safe and support potential efforts to identify those who may have malicious intent.
Impactful Relationships
We have been developing relationships with Albuquerque Police Department and with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department to ensure patrols happen regularly in the area. Privately-funded paid patrols are occuring during nights and weekends.
Smart Cameras
Research is actively being conducted on the best products to utilize at Mesa del Sol for added security to community areas. These cameras feature:
-

Lighting the Way
Lighting will be added and maintained throughout the community as well as traffic controls such as speed bumps, roundabouts, and reduced posted speed limits.
RESIDENTIAL
Residential communities master planned to enhance the quality of life and enjoyment of residents. Views, parks, and innovative design are not the only things planned for our residents.
