Jan. 5—If you’re driving around Scottsdale this first week of 2025, take a mental picture of the landscape.
The scene is going to look very different by the end of the year.
Dozens of projects of varying scales are in process or prepping to change the view around the city.
Here are the top 25 Scottsdale construction projects to watch in 2025:
Optima McDowell Mountain Village
Unlike several of its prominent neighbors along “development row,” this 1,300-unit apartment complex is moving full-speed ahead.
And, unlike massive projects bankrolled by Californians, Texans and other out-of-towners, this one — though the glammy apartments are far from rustic — has a certain “hometown vibe.”
The North Scottsdale face changer was imagined by David C. Hovey and David Hovey Jr., the superstar father-son Scottsdale architects.
Construction crews have been excavating, laying foundations and putting beams in place for the last year on this multi-building behemoth — the largest apartment complex in Scottsdale history.
The new “environmentally friendly neighborhood” promises it “will also be a destination for Scottsdale residents with 36,000 square feet of commercial and retail offerings, 75% open space on grade level and 100% underground parking. The property will feature a bicycle/pedestrian path.”
Optima is working on the first luxurious apartment building — they all will have rooftop pools — on former desert land just south of the Loop 101 on Scottsdale Road.
The first apartments should be ready-to-rent by fall.
