Arizona is on the short list for a new $400 billion smart city proposed by a former Walmart executive. 

Billionaire Marc Lore released plans Sept. 1 for Telosa, a proposed sustainable city that would consist of 150,000 acres, roughly 234 square miles, with 5 million people over 40 years. 

Lore’s proposed smart city is also looking at other states such as Texas, Utah, Idaho and Nevada and the Appalachian region, according to the company’s website. Lore is a co-founder of Diapers.com and was president and CEO of Walmart U.S. eCommerce until January 2021. He also purchased the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx with his business partner Alex Rodriguez and started and sold four companies, including Jet.com, according to the Telosa website. 

The envisioned city will be built in several stages, according to Bloomberg, which first reported news of Telosa. The first phase is targeted to be complete in 2030 and will consist of 50,000 people living in a circular neighborhood of 1,500 acres. Once populated, the city would expand the first phase by encircling it with subsequent layers of 1,500-acre neighborhoods.

Some Arizona real estate experts said they were skeptical of the proposed project, noting there are no land parcels of that size that could be acquired without having to create an assemblage. Only 17% of Arizona’s land is privately owned, leaving no easily identifiable locations for a development of that size.

The details

Telosa would include renewable resources to power the city, autonomous cars, diverse housing options, and a 15-minute commute for people to access work, school and other amenities. 

The city would be built from scratch and based on what Lore calls the Equitism model, which he hopes serves as a “blueprint for a new economic model that the world can learn and benefit from,” according to the project website. 

Telosa will also be supported by community endowment, which would generate income from ground leases and appreciation to support city services like education, housing, health and jobs. 

The Junto Group LLC was formed to create the city and consists of a team of urban planners, designers, historians, community engagement experts, economists and more, the project website said.

Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), was the architecture firm hired to design the project. Junto Group’s partners also include RCLCO, a real estate consulting firm; Buro Happold, a firm that provides integrated consulting engineers and advisors; and Archer, which is working to advance sustainable urban air mobility, the website said.

Another smart city planned in Arizona

This isn’t the first smart city to be proposed in the Grand Canyon state. Microsoft founder Bill Gates spent $80 million through his subsidiary Mt. Lemmon Holdings on 25,000 acres of land outside of Buckeye to build a futuristic smart city the size of Tempe called Belmont. 

Belmont Partners, an Arizona real estate group that sold a majority stake in the land to Gates, previously said the area could be home to 80,000 residences, 3,800 acres of commercial space and 470 acres for public schools. A representative for the group declined to provide an update about the status of that project when contacted by the Phoenix Business Journal. In 2019, a group connected to Gates also bought an additional 2,800 acres known as Spurlock Ranch in Buckeye.

Spurlock Ranch could be built out to include nearly 8,500 homes, with 193 acres allocated for a commerce park, according to real estate database Vizzda.

However, plans envisioned for Telosa, outlined on the project’s website, would be much larger, with a population density comparable to San Francisco.

News of the proposed city comes as a drought continues in Arizona and after the Bureau of Reclamation announced the Colorado River water shortage on Aug. 16. 

According to Telosa’s website, water is planned to be cleaned, stored and reused on site, and the city is envisioned to be powered by a renewable energy system, which will include metrics on preserving resources. 

But a prolonged drought could impact prices urban users pay for water and the ability of economic developers to bring business to the Valley, according to an S&P Global Ratings report.
