Large-scale residential infill opportunities inside Medford city limits are becoming increasingly difficult to find — especially sites with completed studies, utility availability, and a clear entitlement path already taking shape. The North Phoenix Road Development Site brings all three together across 10.49± acres positioned in one of Southeast Medford’s most active growth corridors.
Located at the northeast corner of North Phoenix Road and Coal Mine Road, this SFR-4/SE zoned property sits directly within Medford’s urban growth framework, surrounded by established residential development, expanding infrastructure, and strong long-term housing demand. Stonegate Estates borders the property to the north and northeast, while Centennial Golf Club creates a lasting open-space buffer to the west — offering a rare combination of accessibility, neighborhood context, and protected surrounding character.
For builders and developers, the value here goes beyond acreage. The groundwork has already been started.
Two separate pre-application reviews have been completed with responses from Planning, Public Works, Fire, Water Commission, Jackson County Roads, and irrigation agencies already in place. Environmental and wetland investigations have also been completed, helping reduce uncertainty early in the development process.
The site is currently zoned SFR-4 with Southeast Plan Overlay designation, allowing an estimated 31–50 dwelling units under current zoning parameters, with additional upside potential through PUD density bonuses or future SFR-6 consideration supported within the Southeast Plan framework. Sewer capacity has already been confirmed adequate for higher-density residential scenarios.
Unlike many raw development parcels, this property shows unusually clean diligence characteristics for an infill site of this scale. Soil sampling and environmental testing returned results below DEQ cleanup thresholds with no remediation recommended, while wetland delineation identified only a minimal isolated feature across the entire property.
Infrastructure positioning is another major advantage. The property benefits from frontage along North Phoenix Road, Juanipero Way, and Coal Mine Road, with municipal sewer, water, storm drainage, power, and telecommunications infrastructure already serving the surrounding urban area. The site itself is generally level to gently rolling, creating a practical canvas for future subdivision planning and residential construction.
This corridor continues to see steady residential expansion as Southeast Medford builds outward, yet opportunities of this size inside the city limits continue to shrink. With established neighborhoods already surrounding the property, nearby freeway access, proximity to healthcare and employment centers, and a meaningful amount of due diligence already completed, the North Phoenix Road Development Site stands out as one of the region’s more compelling urban infill opportunities currently available.
For developers looking for a project with scale, flexibility, and momentum already moving in the right direction, this is the kind of property that rarely stays available for long.
