HISTORY

SunCor Development Company, a Tempe AZ subsidiary of Pinnacle West Capital Corp. (PNW on the New York Stock Exchange), began development of Coral Canyon in 1999 on 2,200 acres of land leased from the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA).

In 2010, SITLA reclaimed the master development lease after SunCor ran into financial trouble due to the downturn in housing.
