A seven-story apartment building is planned west of the southwest corner of Scottsdale and Bell roads in east Phoenix.
A seven-story apartment building planned west of the southwest corner of Scottsdale and Bell roads in east Phoenix received approval from the Phoenix Planning Commission last week. Phoenix City Council still needs to give final approval.
The 315-unit apartment building, by developer Fifield Companies, will replace a strip mall that is on a 4.32-acre property near the intersection on the Phoenix-Scottsdale border.
The planning commission unanimously passed both a general plan amendment and rezone request to allow for the apartment complex, which now head to city council for approval. The project received support, but was not quite as popular, at the Paradise Valley Village Planning Committee — the general plan amendment passed 9-3 and the rezone request passed 7-5.
The apartment building will include a rooftop pool, parking garage and clubhouse.
The seven-story, 83-foot-tall building is not as tall as another planned apartment building in the area — a 14-story, 159-foot, 255-unit apartment building directly on the southwest corner of Scottsdale and Bell roads, which was approved by city council in late 2021.
