ECO-LUXURY Optima Camel View Village $510,000 to $5 million
For the environmentally conscientious resident in the luxury tier, Optima Camel View Village in Scottsdale has undeniable appeal. A variety of custom and predesigned floor plans offer 800 to 5,000 square feet of living space. A roof terrace and private outdoor living space of up to 2,000 square feet is also included in each condo. Optima uses a green roof system on two of its buildings and on all condo terraces; it’s said to help battle the “urban heat island effect” by absorbing less heat during the day thanks to the rooftop grass and landscaping. Other enviro-friendly attributes are natural ventilation systems, constructed shading, stone panels and high-performance sun-protective glass. Situated on Scottsdale and Highland Roads, Optima is surrounded by shopping, entertainment and night life. 480.425.7177, www.optimacamelview.com.
