Morrison Ranch and The Ranch Next Door — What Gilbert Residents Need to Know

The Ranch is a 311-acre mixed-use development approved at Power and Warner in Gilbert, Arizona, planned to include 3 million square feet of light industrial across 221 acres, 34 acres of

If you live in Morrison Ranch or you're thinking about buying there, you've probably heard something about

the development going in nearby. The Ranch at Power and Warner is one of the bigger projects approved in

Gilbert in recent years, and it's worth understanding exactly what's coming — the upsides and the trade-offs.

The Ranch is a massive mixed-use development approved at roughly 311 acres near Power and Warner

Roads. The light industrial component is substantial — approximately 221 acres totaling around 3 million

square feet. Alongside that, there's about 34 acres of retail planned, covering restaurants, grocery,

quick-service with drive-thrus, automotive, and neighborhood services. And 729 multifamily units spread

across three communities will bring a significant residential population to the area. The development plan

includes 18 acres of green space, trails, and park-like areas intended to create a more connected, livable feel along the corridor.

Morrison Ranch itself already has a well-established identity — tree-lined streets, white fences, lakes, and architecturally consistent homes that make it one of the most recognizable neighborhoods in Gilbert, Arizona. For residents there, The Ranch brings real benefits: closer retail and dining options, more nearby jobs, and a more activated Power corridor instead of underused land sitting idle.

The trade-offs are just as real. More truck traffic, increased employee commuting activity, and a less rural character along Power as phases build out are the honest downsides. Wes and Lisa Bender believe in giving clients the full picture — and the full picture here is that this is a classic Gilbert growth story. More convenience and economic activity on one side of the ledger, more intensity on the edges of a beloved neighborhood on the other.

How will The Ranch development affect Morrison Ranch home values?

Proximity to retail, dining, and employment typically supports home values by improving daily-life

convenience — one of the top factors buyers weigh when choosing a neighborhood. The added traffic and

industrial presence may be a drawback for some buyers who value quiet and a more suburban feel, which is

why understanding your priorities before buying is critical.
