A 261-unit, five-story apartment building is planned near Kierland Commons.
The proposed project, called Davis Kierland, is slated for a 4.2-acre property southwest of 71st Street and Marilyn Road. It is mainly surrounded by offices and is a block south of Phoenix’s Kierland Commons shopping center. Opposite Scottsdale Road, which forms the Phoenix-Scottsdale border in the area, is the Scottsdale Quarter shopping center.
The development was presented last week to the Paradise Valley Village Planning Committee for information only before it votes on a rezone and general plan change needed to move forward with the development in a future meeting. Committee Member Diane Peterson said she needs assurances the project won’t worsen high-speed traffic through a nearby residential neighborhood before she would vote on it.
