Scottsdale has left behind the post-recession sluggishness in a cloud of construction dust.
In south Scottsdale, SkySong Apartments have just been completed along the McDowell Road corridor and construction is advancing on Mark-Taylor’s 572-unit, gated apartment community next door.
In downtown, Alliance Residential Co. has multiple apartment projects under construction, at the Scottsdale Waterfront and in the entertainment district. Also, Modus Development and Icon Properties have just completed the framing for an eight-unit townhouse project near Scottsdale and Camelback roads.
And farther north, multiple residential projects are being built, such as Camden Property Trust’s 220-unit apartment complex, Camden Foothills at DC Ranch, across 9.3 acres near Pima Road and Legacy Boulevard.
The overall number of construction permits issued by Scottsdale has been steadily increasing, said Michael Clack, the city’s development services director.
