Scottsdale’s growth spurt seems likely to continue this year.
At its first meeting of the year, the Development Review Board gave the green light to two sizable projects – one at the south end of the city, one in North Scottsdale.
The seven-person board, made up of six appointed volunteers and a City Council representative, also approved a big addition to the Shea/92nd Street corridor.
On Jan. 8, Aria at Silverstone received unanimous approval from outgoing Tammy Caputi and commissioners Joe Young, Ali Fakih, David Mason, Jeff Brand, Ed Peaser and Donna Robinson.
K. Hovnanian Homes’ operatic Aria at Silverstone plans 100 townhomes at 22602 N. 74th Street, a North Scottsdale hub north of the Loop 101. The neighborhood just east of Scottsdale Road currently features the San Portales “luxury apartment community,” Vi at Silverstone senior living and Apaloosa Library.
