94-unit luxury rentals with Camelback Mountain views coming to Scottsdale
Scottsdale-based Modus Development is breaking ground in November on Papago Village, a luxury build-to-rent community with Camelback Mountain views.
Taking over the former Scottsdale headquarters of Vitalant at 6200 E. Oak St. in March 2024, Ed Gorman plans to build 94 luxury rental units on the site.
The founder of Modus Development said the $60.2 million project will open in May 2027. The general contractor is Bolte Construction and the architect is Scottsdale-based David Dick Architect Inc.
It will include a 6,000-square-foot clubhouse spanning two stories that will offer unobstructed views of Camelback Mountain from its viewing deck. It also will include fitness rooms, a wellness room, pool, spa, fire pits, dog park and indoor and outdoor kitchens.
Also included in the project will be a 5,000-square-foot shared office space for residents.
In 1971, Stephen Nemtin of Taliesin Associates Architects, affiliated with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, worked with John Wesley Peters, who at the time was director of Taliesin Architects, to design the office building with amid-century modern architecture style. It was completed in 1972.
The interior will be renovated with high-tech, modern finishes, Gorman said.
That shared office building will include Zoom rooms, a podcast room and individual offices and conference rooms.
The 94 luxury rental units will range between 850 and 1,260 feet. These NetZero Energy homes with Smart Home Technology will be detached units with large backyards, Gorman said.
