Trammell Crow Residential has submitted a proposal to transform an office property at 14646 North Kierland Boulevard into a 319-unit apartment complex. The planned residential development would replace an 80,000-square-foot office building that was constructed in 2000.
Why it matters
The proposal reflects a shift toward redeveloping underutilized office space in Scottsdale to meet regional housing demand. This project marks a significant change for the 5.4-acre site, which has seen substantial value appreciation in recent years.
The proposed five-story complex spans a 5.4-acre site and includes 13,000 square feet of dedicated amenity space. The Related Group purchased the existing office building on the property for $32 million in 2023, up from a $19.4 million sale in 2020.
