Optima Photo Update - March 2025

Greetings everyone! Spring is here, and exciting things are moving along at Optima McDowell Mountain. Sales are already starting at Summit by Olson Kundig over at Ascent at The Phoenician, and it's clear momentum is building all around Scottsdale. While sales at Optima McDowell Mountain (OMM) haven't officially been announced publicly yet, they’re coming soon. That we can promise. Our latest photos from mid-March showcase significant progress since our last Optima McDowell Mountain update in mid-January. Glass installation now reaches the rooftop, Mayo Boulevard is freshly paved, and resident parking signs are in place. Even better? We've captured stunning twilight views that highlight how beautiful this community is turning out to be. Pretty, huh?

The windows, reflecting a gorgeous bronze hue at sunset, will range beautifully with the meticulously planted foliage Optima is famous for. You can finally imagine the complete vision, an inviting, pedestrian-friendly community designed around vibrant living, working, and playing. Scroll down, enjoy these striking photos, and if you have questions, we're here for you.

Optima McDowell Mountain Sales Info

The next milestone is breaking ground on Building 7230, the first luxury condo phase. With sales starting at Summit by Olson Kundig, many buyers are eager for details on when sales will officially kick off. Pricing isn't yet public due to pending approval of the required Public Report by the city. While the developer can't legally discuss specifics yet, we can speculate. Prices could range approximately from $800 to over $1,600 a square foot.

With construction progress moving swiftly, here's what's happening at Optima McDowell Mountain:

• Glass panels fully installed up to the rooftop
• Resident parking signage now visible
• Mayo Boulevard newly paved, creating clean street access
• Site prepared for groundbreaking on the first condo building (7230)

The best views initially will face south down Scottsdale Road towards stunning landmarks. Eventually, eastward views from Building 7230 will be obstructed by future construction (Building 7260). Units facing south and west promise spectacular sunrises, sunset vistas, and protection from harsh direct sunlight. Early purchasers might even benefit from incentives and flexible down-payment terms, possibly splitting deposits into multiple 5% installments.
