Optima McDowell Mountain is making an entrance into North Scottsdale, where the $1 billion mixed-use development is now leasing and offering select residences for purchase. Spanning 22 acres, the project introduces six eight-story buildings that house 1,330 apartments and condominiums, designed by award-winning architects David C. Hovey, FAIA, and David Hovey, Jr., AIA.
Their signature approach brings together sculptural modern architecture, indoor-outdoor living, and forward-thinking wellness features, setting a new benchmark for desert luxury living.
Rooted in biophilic design and sustainability, Optima McDowell Mountain dedicates 75 percent of its land to open space and features the most extensive private rainwater harvesting system in the country. This commitment supports an all-inclusive lifestyle shaped around 1.5 acres of curated amenities.
Residents enjoy access to an expansive rooftop deck anchored by an Olympic-length pool and a running track circling the perimeter, along with a cutting-edge fitness center, indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, and even an outdoor putting and chipping area.
Now in its first phase, the community recently unveiled apartment tower 7220, introducing a new level of elevated living to the area. Pre-sales are also underway for condominium tower 7230, scheduled for completion in 2027, offering future homeowners an opportunity to secure a place in one of North Scottsdale’s most ambitious residential developments.
