The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians broke ground on a housing development in Palm Springs, California.

The tribe enlisted The Rilington Group to build 52 single-family homes on trust land within reservation boundaries. The development is known as the Vallera Palm Springs at Village Traditions.

"Our shared vision for this property will result in the addition of very attractive new homes in this desirable neighborhood," Chairman Jeff Grubbe said in a press release last October when the project was announced. "The Rilington Group has a solid history of building quality homes and communities in great locations throughout Southern California and the Coachella Valley. This project represents a real sign our local housing market is improving. Home building creates jobs and helps drive economic growth."

The homes will be offered for sale.
