Optima Sonoran Village Update – 2 New Buildings

/in , , /by

Optima, Inc., the developer and one of the original owners of the 592-apartment home Optima Sonoran Village, has acquired the luxury apartment community through a new partnership with Des Moines, Iowa-based Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC.

The partnership acquired Optima Sonoran Village Phases I and II for $200 million from an existing Optima-sponsored venture. In addition to acquiring the two existing phases, this new partnership also will develop Phase III of Optima Sonoran Village. Phase III, the capstone of Optima’s vision for Sonoran Village, consists of a 176-apartment home, seven-story tower having the same look and feel as Phases I and II, but also will offer an exclusive roof-deck amenity to its residents.

Optima Sonoran Village, winner of the prestigious Honor Award from The American Institute of Architects, offers resort living through its unparalleled amenities, including outdoor pools and spas, dog park, walking paths and an approximately 19,000 square foot residents’ club that includes a membership quality fitness center, an indoor pool and spa, steam rooms and saunas, indoor basketball court, racquetball court, party room and business center. Optima Sonoran Village also features floor-to-ceiling windows and exclusive outdoor terraces for each residence, as well as Optima’s distinctive vertical landscaping system.

Both Optima and Principal Real Estate Investors are attracted to the uniqueness and quality of the development, as well as its wonderful location in growing downtown Scottsdale. “We are thrilled to be partnering with an organization of the caliber of Principal Real Estate Investors that shares our commitment to offering incomparable, luxury living to residents of the Valley who are looking for an upscale lifestyle and living spaces that are utterly unique,” says Tara Hovey, President & COO of Optima, Inc.

“Principal Real Estate Investors is excited to partner with Optima due to its vertically integrated business model that created the unique community that is Optima Sonoran Village. And, we look forward to adding to this distinctive community through the development of Phase III,” shared Kevin Anderegg, Managing Director of Principal Real Estate Investors.

Now in its 40th year, Optima continues to grow in the Greater Phoenix market. Having previously opened luxury condominium developments, including Optima Biltmore Towers in 2006, and Optima Camelview Village in 2009, Optima recently welcomed its first residents to its latest condominium development, at 7120 Optima Kierland in Scottsdale. The opening of

7120 Optima Kierland condominiums follows Optima’s opening in April 2017 of 7160 Optima Kierland, its 150-apartment home community.

“As is evidenced by our reinvestment in Optima Sonoran Village and our continuing investment in Optima Kierland, Optima has a long-term commitment to ongoing investment in the growing Greater Phoenix market,” says Hovey.

Optima has completed more than 30 projects and approximately 5,400 multifamily/condominium units over the company’s rich 40-year history of taking on multiple roles in the development process: developer, architect, general contractor, and property manager or sales broker.

Residences at the 592-apartment home Optima Sonoran Village include studios, one, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes. For more information, call Andrew Holm at 480-206-4265.

Scottsdale Arizona

As you are probably aware, the market is starting to change back to what is considered to be a “buyers market” with short sales and foreclosure appear to be a thing of the past, or are they?  Throughout the valley we are seeing an increase in inventory as well as slower sales cycles for the homes that are on the market for the most part.

With 16 listings on the MLS (not including 4 Sale Buy Owners) in Windgate Ranch is why you need more than ever a Realtor that knows the Windgate Ranch market place so that your property will sell in a timely manner and for the right price.

With housing inventory on the rise as well as the market showing signs of improvement now is the time to sell and/or consider an upgrade!  Below are a few examples of homes that have recently sold or that are currently on the market in Windgate Ranch for your review:

  • 17071 N. 98th Place 3128 sqft (Listed for $750k)

Will 2017 home sales in Phoenix set record

/in , /by

From AZ Republic – Written by Catherine Reager

2017 is shaping up to be one of the best years for home sales in metro Phoenix.

Sales aren’t higher than the boom year of 2005 when speculators bought a record number of homes, or the bust year of 2011 when investors snapped up a record number of bargain Phoenix-area foreclosure homes.

But those years weren’t normal and definitely weren’t healthy for Phoenix’s housing market.

FROM 2016: Metro Phoenix home prices hit post-crash high

“2005 went down in the history books as the year our housing bubble rapidly inflated,” said housing expert Tom Ruff of Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service’s The Information Market. “2011 was the year housing prices bottomed out after the housing-market collapse.

“This leaves 2017 as the very best year for Valley resale homes in our history not influenced by some freakish market outlier,” said Ruff.

Home sales are up 9 percent from last year.

The Valley’s top half-years for existing home sales

2005: 54,142
2011: 53,896
2017: 49,181
Regular buyers, including many first-timers, are driving more Phoenix-area home sales this year, and that’s a big reason why 2017 is such a better year than the others.

“As rent prices continue to climb, Millennials are feeling compelled to make the jump into homeownership,” Living Chandler founder and Revelation Real Estate agent Matthew Coates told me.

He also said many new residents coming to the Valley from the Midwest and Northeast for jobs are now buying homes after renting for a year or so.

A growing number of investors, including Canadians who bought houses for less than $100,000 during the crash, are now selling for hefty profits since home values have rebounded.

Those houses, now mostly priced below $500,000, are what most current buyers can afford.

Mary Campbell Gomez of RE/MAX AZ Mega Homes, told me the northwest Valley has a “serious shortage” of homes for sale.

Supply is so tight for houses priced right, she said some buyers are purchasing houses without seeing them in person because there’s so much competition.
