Yes, that's part of the South Central light rail extension. There are two of them planned in this area. They make sense in this context because there are virtually no intersecting streets on the west side of Central. Having roundabouts provides opportunities for U-turns across the tracks in places where there would not typically be signalized intersections. There are two roundabouts along the light rail route in Mesa, and they seem to work just fine.
