MODUS Companies (MODUS Development) has submitted a proposal for a 94-unit single-family Build-to-Rent development in south Scottsdale on Oak Street near 64th Street.
Papago Village would provide 46 one-bedroom and 48 two-bedroom units on 10.01 gross acres.
According to the project narrative, the development will have a Mid-Century Modern design aspect, drawing from the architecture of neighboring homes and an existing office building on the site that will be retained in the new development. The building was designed by Taliesin Architects and built in 1972. The interior of the building will be redeveloped into a co-working community center, according to the narrative and the project video produced by Scottsdale planning staff.
MODUS’ proposal claims Papago Village will be “one of the most technologically advanced communities in the country.” Homes in the development will be designed to meet Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Home program requirements, which the company claims should deliver units that are 50%-70% more energy efficient than homes built to standard code specifications. Each unit will feature low-e glass, solar panels, Energy Star appliances and other sustainable building materials, according to the narrative.
