Scottsdale-based Optima surpassed 55% sold at 7180 Optima Kierland and recently introduced an exclusive, highly curated collection of nine premium penthouses for sale.

As the newest and most elevated high-rise condominium tower at the $500 million Optima Kierland Center, 7180 Optima Kierland, has sold 113 homes since sales began in January 2019. The community leads the Phoenix-metro market for sales velocity when compared to other new condominium developments across the Valley, according to a December 2019 market study by Polaris Pacific.

Amid the sales success, Optima is launching the McDowell Mountain Collection, which includes a limited selection of luxury penthouses prices from $1.1 million. Perched at the pinnacle of the 12-story tower, these penthouses offer unsurpassed views of the McDowell Mountains through the sweeping floor-to-ceiling glass walls, allowing for the ultimate indoor-and-outdoor living experience.

Buyers have the option of choosing from nine homes with three distinct two-to-three-bedroom floor plans ranging from approximately 1,461 to 1,509 square feet.

Poised among the most luxurious penthouses in Arizona, each McDowell Mountain Collection home features an expansive private terrace adorned with lush, hanging greenery and upgraded finishes that can be selected by the buyer.

“With such strong buyer interest in the community, we knew we wanted to offer a collection of homes featuring a distinctive combination of space, design and amenities,” says Optima President and Principal Architect David Hovey Jr., AIA.

Inspired by the surrounding McDowell Mountains, these penthouse homes feature a selection of finishes designed to highlight the desert setting.

“We aim to set the bar for penthouse living here in Arizona.”

One of the strongest draws for buyers at 7180 Optima Kierland has been the array of amenities, including a rooftop Skydeck with Arizona’s first residential rooftop running track, a heated lap pool, a full outdoor bar and kitchen with entertaining spaces, indoor and outdoor theaters, a 16,000-square-foot fitness center, a basketball/pickleball and squash courts.

A joint venture partnership between Optima and Principal Real Estate Investors is developing 7140 Optima Kierland, a multifamily property located within Optima Kierland Center in North Scottsdale.

As the second residential tower within Optima Kierland Center, the 12-story building will feature 213 apartments in a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts ranging in size from 737 square feet to 2,225 square feet. Units will feature plank flooring, solar shades, floor-to-ceiling glass walls and an outdoor terrace. Residential amenities will include a rooftop pool, lounge and running track; outdoor spa with a steam room, sauna and hydrotherapy; fitness center; cool plunge and hot spa; full-court indoor basketball court; co-working spaces; dog park and pet spa; electronic gaming room; and golf simulator.

Additional amenities will include outdoor spaces with barbeques and fire pits; event and party spaces with retractable glass walls; an outdoor bar, lounge and kitchen; and an indoor theatre and game room.

Construction of the new tower is well underway, with first move-ins scheduled for August.
