On Saturday, 120 volunteers from Scottsdale-based developer DMB Associates are planning to renovate three facilities owned by A&A Cottages, a nonprofit that runs several foster care group homes for teenagers in Mesa.

The improvements will include insulation, ceiling fans and water conserving toilets. Volunteers will also remodel kitchens, replace carpeting with wood flooring, paint the inside and outside of the homes and do landscaping.

DMB will play a major role in Mesa’s future growth with plans to develop 3,200 acres of land near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Earlier this year, the real estate investment and development firm released preliminary plans for the property, which would include homes, golf courses, mid-rise office buildings and hotels. The first phase of the project could begin in 2009.
