The burgeoning $1 billion Optima McDowell Mountain development (optimamcdowellmountain.com)—six eight-story apartment buildings, 36,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and a 10-acre park with cycling and pedestrian paths—is set to stun in the real estate community, and building 7220, which is leasing now, is its current crown jewel. “This initial residential tower represents a significant milestone in bringing Optima McDowell Mountain to life,” Optima president David Hovey Jr., AIA, notes.

Effortless green spaces abound throughout the property.

Housing 210 luxury rentals, the building’s floor plans span from studios to three bedrooms with monthly rates from $2,900 to over $10,000. Each residence features Optima’s signature architectural and biophilic design, including oversize windows, soaring ceilings, private terraces and smart-home technology. The property’s thoughtful designs were crafted with sustainability in mind, boasting the largest private rainwater harvesting system in the U.S., solar energy, electric vehicle charging stations and more.

Sleek bedrooms feature soaring ceilings and oversize windows.

Luxury living is exemplified with helpful perks like dry cleaning drop-off and delivery, an on-demand mobile app for scheduling everything from housekeeping to massages, personal training, pet care services and more. An Olympic-style pool on the roof is perfect for swimming a few laps, followed by a dip in the cold plunge. On the ground level sits a full-service fitness studio, pickleball courts, a movie theater and even a golf simulator.
