Leading multifamily developer Optima announced today that the latest tower within its $500 million Optima Kierland development, 7180 Optima Kierland, has sold all 205 luxury condominiums.
Since sales for the tower began in January 2019, the community has been selling at a rate of 6.7 homes per month, almost identical to the absorption rate of Optima’s previous condominium development next door, 7120 Optima Kierland. Both Optima communities, totaling 425 residences, sold five times faster than other new condominium communities in the Phoenix-metro market.
“We are pleased with the response we’ve received at 7180 Optima Kierland from homebuyers both locally and across the country and we look forward to developing our next residential community in the Valley,” said David Hovey Jr., president, COO and principal architect of Optima.
Over the past two years, the Phoenix-metro market has been one of the highest performing and most resilient housing markets in the country, according to a recent report from Polaris Pacific, a prominent sales and marketing brokerage that tracks condominium market trends and represented Optima in the sale of Optima Kierland residences.

“We are excited about opening the final building for Optima Kierland. We appreciate all of the support from the neighborhood, Councilman Jim Waring, the Phoenix City Council, the Planning Commission, and the City’s Planning and Building departments. We hope the community is proud of our project and what it brings to the local economy,” said David Hovey Jr., AIA, Optima’s president and COO. “The location will always be highly coveted, but what sets our developments apart has been our dedication to unique architecture, high-quality construction and providing the next evolution of amenities.”
As a further expansion to its already impressive lineup of unique amenity offerings, the final tower features a rooftop Sky Deck with a 50-meter Olympic-length lap pool, as well as a ¼ mile running track, spa and cold plunge, lounge seating, fire pits, outdoor bar and kitchen with TVs, and breathtaking views of the McDowell Mountains.

Sales at 7180 Optima Kierland, the newest tower within the $500 million Optima Kierland development from leading multifamily developer Optima, reached 85% last month as it averages 4.5 sales per month since January 2020, making it among the top two fastest-selling luxury condominium developments on the West Coast. That average is approximately five times greater than the rest of the market, where a typical new condominium development averages only 0.89 sales per month.
“Of the eight West Coast condo markets we track, Phoenix has proven to be the most resilient in the wake of COVID-19 and 7180 Optima Kierland stands out as the fastest-selling condominium community in the state of Arizona,” says Paul Zeger, partner of Polaris Pacific, a leading sales and marketing brokerage that tracks condominium market trends. “Compared to other urban cores such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, the Phoenix-metro market stayed more active during the months of the pandemic. Therefore, the area’s growth can be seen more like a continuation of pre-COVID trends rather than merely a rebound from depressed spring and summer sales volumes that many other West Coast cities had to overcome.”
With only 32 residences remaining for sale priced from the $500,000s to more than $2 million, 7180 Optima Kierland is comprised of 202 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, plus a collection of premium penthouses perched atop the highest floor that will be unveiled in March 2021.
The biggest draw for buyers has been the array of lavish amenities, both on the rooftop and the ground level. Set atop the 12th floor is the spectacular Sky Deck, which was designed with a negative-edge view, with the railings lowered just beyond the sightline, so the eye goes straight to the vistas beyond and gives the sensation of floating above the city. Among the development’s other amenities for fitness, relaxation and entertainment, its Sky Deck offers residents Arizona’s first residential rooftop running track.
Among the building’s most unmistakable features is it’s next-generation vertical landscape system, with self-containing irrigation and drainage that enables a palette of vibrantly colored plants at the edge of each floor to grow both up and over the building. 7180 Optima Kierland displays the next evolution of Optima’s award-winning, green-building design created by David Hovey Jr., AIA, president and principal architect of Optima.
Did you Know: Optima is known for cutting-edge, residential buildings that have been nationally and internationally recognized with more than 75 prestigious awards for the company’s commitment to design, innovation and sustainability.

The first couple decades of this century witnessed a marked decline in golf’s popularity. Some 1,200 golf courses were shuttered nationwide, and from 2003 to 2018, U.S. golf participation plunged by 6.8 million participants. Golf pros feared for the sport’s future.
Then came the Covid-19 pandemic, and its corresponding recommendation of social distancing. Moving outdoors onto the wide-open golf links seemed an ideal response.
Interest in the game has surged ever since, and is reflected in the growing popularity of golf simulator experiences like TopGolf and X-Golf, as well as in golf driving ranges. The opportunity to play a round on 3D virtual representations of legendary golf courses has hooked legions of linksters. Golf simulator settings have become a relaxed place for fun, social gatherings, as well as corporate events and team-building experiences.
Never one to pass on crowd-pleasing features that can attract move-ins to their residential offerings, shrewd developers have increasingly found reason to incorporate golf simulators into their buildings. The move ensures residents can hone their swings or play a round with friends without ever booking a tee time. Here’s a look at several residential communities that top the leaderboard in golf-related amenities and extras.
