Get an Aerial Video View of 'Piazza Escondida'

The developer of a mixed-use development on El Paso's West Side, Piazza Escondida, has debuted an aerial video of the project from above.

The YouTube video shows an afternoon look at the Piazza, which currently has homes for sale. The Winton Homes Group project located at 6350 Escondido Drive will ultimately deliver more than 20 residential units surrounding a central plaza area complete with landscaping and a fully functional fountain.

The video was posted on YouTube and Facebook by Michael Duchouquette.

'Piazza' Progresses: Modern West Side Project Has Old World Character

Loft Units Could be Ready by June

One of El Paso’s most unique communities continues its march to reality on the city’s west side, and units will be ready for occupancy this summer.

Piazza Escondida, a Winton Homes Group project located at 6350 Escondido Drive and adjacent to the company’s headquarters, will ultimately deliver more than 20 residential units surrounding a central plaza area complete with landscaping and a fully functional fountain.

The Live/Work units have garage access at the plaza level.

Pavers are already in place at the Piazza, a development influenced by old world residential areas such as those found in the oldest Italian villages where a diversity of housing options surround a central gathering plaza. 

Three larger buildings and five detached “City Homes” will make up the Piazza. Currently, two of the three planned multi-family buildings are under construction.

One of those buildings is on the property’s eastern edge and will have four loft-style condos on the upper level, each with its own unique floor plan covering approximately 1,000 square feet. Each loft will include amenities like exposed duct work and beams, exposed brick detail on walls, and concrete floors. The plaza-level (basement) will have garage access for these units.

Scaffolding covers the unfinished façade of the Loft/Terrace Homes building at the Piazza Escondida on El Paso’s west side.

Immediately below the lofts, the project includes four professional office units that will front the current headquarters’ parking lot. 

Flanking the lofts and office spaces are two level, two bedroom units each with its own attached double car garage. These “Terrace Homes” also include two and half bathrooms each and generous balconies.

Piazza Escondida Brings Mixed-Use to West EP

A new mixed-use development is snuggling into an otherwise suburban west El Paso neighborhood. Piazza Esondida will offer 20+ residential units when the project is complete, ranging from studio lofts to terrace homes.

According to the project's website, five different home/work types will be built, including:

Terrace Homes (2) - Consist of two level homes with two bedrooms and an attached two care garage.
Mansion Residence (7) - Condo units that will reside within a "mansion" building and can be designed to suit the buyer.
Studio Lofts (4) - Open spaces that are approximately 1,000 square feet and include details such as exposed duct work, brick interior walls, and concrete floors. These will include a one car garage.
Live/Work (5) - Units with work space on the first level and live space on the second. Each has an attached garage. One work space will be dedicated for restaurant/deli uses while another will be used for retail purposes.
City Homes (5) - "Spacious" detached homes with two-car garages.
Annex Office Suites (4) - 1,000 square foot office suites with direct access to grade level parking.

Construction is well under way and can be seen in progress photos offered on the website, though no timeline is revealed. All housing units will be sold as condominiums, according to the site.

The project, at 6350 Escondido Drive, is being constructed by The Winton Homes Group of El Paso.
