Optima Rolls Out Bigger Condos In North Scottsdale

Buyers kept stacking units. Now the developer made it official. Optima just rolled out a new “Signature Collection” inside its north Scottsdale project, and these homes go big, fast. Think merged condos, wider layouts, and prices pushing past $3 million. Activity is already strong. Early sales show a clear shift in what buyers want across “The Valley.”

Quick Points

• New Signature Collection combines multiple condo units
• Sizes push past standard penthouses
• Prices range from about $2.75M to $3.295M
• Over 30% of one tower already sold
• Demand for $1M+ condos is rising

Bigger Units Take Over The Building

Here’s the shift. Buyers started buying two units, sometimes three, then linking them into one space. Optima saw it happen in real time. So they stepped in and built a formal option. Now you can pick a layout that merges one-, two-, or three-bedroom units into a single residence. It changes the feel. More room. Wider spans. Cleaner flow. These homes sit on floors six through eight, right in the middle of the tower. And yes, they go beyond the penthouse sizes already offered.

• Combined floorplans now offered directly
• Units span 2,553 to 3,238 square feet
• Located mid-rise for balanced views
• Larger than top-floor penthouses

That last point stands out. The biggest standard penthouse hits about 2,218 square feet. These go well past that. Buyers clearly wanted space, and now they get it without piecing units together on their own.

Sales Move Fast As Buyers Go Bigger

The numbers tell the story. One tower, labeled 7230, has already sold more than 30% of its units ahead of schedule. That’s quick. Even more telling, about one-third of those early deals involved combined units. People aren’t testing the idea. They’re jumping in. Pricing follows that demand. Available Signature Collection homes sit between roughly $2.75 million and $3.295 million. One recent deal closed at $3.45 million for a 2,656-square-foot residence.

• 30% of units sold early
• One-third of deals were combined homes
• Prices push past $3 million
• Closings already exceed list ranges

Zoom out a bit. Across “The Valley,” condos over $1 million saw about a 30% jump in activity over a recent six-month stretch. That trend lines up with what’s happening here. Buyers want new product, larger layouts, and newer buildings.

Construction Pushes Ahead While Leasing Starts

While condos sell, the site keeps moving. The 7230 tower is nearing structural completion. First move-ins are expected early next year. Nearby, an apartment building is already done and leasing. It’s about half full right now. That mix matters. Rentals bring life early, while condo buyers phase in over time. The full project will stretch across six buildings on a 22-acre site near Scottsdale Road and Loop 101.

• Condo tower nearing structural finish
• First deliveries planned next year
• Apartment building now leasing
• Roughly 50% occupied today

This staggered rollout keeps momentum steady. You get residents now, then more later. It builds energy on-site without waiting years for full completion.

Project Scale Shapes A New Pocket In The Valley

Step back and look at the full picture. Optima McDowell Mountain is a $1 billion build with about 1,330 residences planned. That includes around 970 apartments and roughly 420 condos. Add in about 36,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and the footprint starts to feel like its own pocket of north Scottsdale. The layout leans pedestrian friendly, with paths, open areas, and connected spaces across the site.

• 22-acre site in north Scottsdale
• About 1,330 total residences planned
• Six buildings at eight stories
• 36,000 square feet of retail

There’s also a push on infrastructure. Subterranean parking sits below. An underground trash system keeps things out of sight. Plans include a large-scale rainwater system filed with the city, aiming to offset water use early on.

Lifestyle Leans Active With Outdoor Focus

Now the day-to-day side. The project packs in features that keep people moving and outside. You’ll see rooftop areas, pools, sports courts, and long paths that connect into the city’s bike network. Green space spreads across the site with hundreds of trees planned. There’s also an amphitheater and open plaza areas that bring people together.

• Rooftop pools and lounge areas
• Indoor and outdoor sports courts
• Golf areas and fitness spaces
• Dog park and pet services
• 14-foot-wide pedestrian path

It all feeds into a simple idea. Stay on-site. Walk around. Use the space. Then step out to nearby roads when needed. That balance keeps the project grounded in how people actually live in “The Valley.”
