The Phoenix side of the Phoenix-Scottsdale border at Bell and Scottsdale roads could soon see a new densely populated luxury apartment community under a proposal submitted to the City of Phoenix on behalf of developer Fifield Companies.
The Phoenix Planning and Development Department received a Planned Unit Development zoning request for Residences at Scottsdale Crossing on April 22. The submittal from land use law firm Snell & Wilmer details plans for a 302-unit luxury multifamily residential community on a roughly 4.3 gross-acre site west of the NWC of Scottsdale Road and Bell Road.
The site is currently occupied by an under-performing two-story retail center. According to the submittal, “Redevelopment of the Site will help… achieve a more balanced mix of uses while diversifying the availability of housing types and density ranges in the immediate surrounding area. The Development will offer a higher-density, luxury housing option to complement the existing lower-density residential developments nearby. This proposal supports the creation of additional housing opportunities within close proximity to a wide range of employers and community amenities, including regional malls and commercial centers such as the Promenade, Kierland Commons, and the North Scottsdale Airpark. As a result, the Development will help to support the long-term viability of the existing office and commercial uses in the surrounding area.”…
