Inside the ninth-floor condo created by architect David Hovey, Jr., floor-to-ceiling windows perfectly frame views of the McDowell Mountains and provide glimpses of planes landing at the nearby Scottsdale airport. Balconies offer desert breezes and bird’s-eye views of the urban hubbub below. The backdrop inspired interior designer Lissa Lee Hickman to create a luxurious, tone-one-tone aerie that’s a calming setting for its owners.
The 3,100-square-foot, three-bedroom North Scottsdale residence was designed by Hickman for a couple, with adult children, who has vacationed in Scottsdale for years. “I did their previous home,” says Hickman, who opened her own firm in 2006. “They decided they didn’t want to maintain a big single-family house, so they were looking for a lock-and-leave condo.”
For a growing number of Canadian seasonal-home buyers shopping the Greater Phoenix market, upscale North Scottsdale has caught their discerning eye.

Since Arizona has historically relied on master planning because of the state’s harsh environment, it’s no surprise that green construction has taken off in the area. Phoenix even adopted the International Green Construction Code recently, and the Optima Kierland towers will be among the first to implement those principles.
While Optima Kierland will provide amenities standard to similar luxury construction, it also places a special priority on efficiency. Its vertical landscape system helps to reduce ambient temperature and filter the air, while special glass also provides energy savings. The developers also placed the towers’ parking underground, opting to use the surrounding property as a public park system.
