According to commercial real estate site Loopnet, “North Scottsdale redevelopment or owner/user at 13875 N Northsight Blvd.,” an 8,500 square-foot office building was for sale for $9.5 million – but is “in escrow.”
The property is billed as “rare redevelopment or owner/user opportunity in highly sought-after North Scottsdale neighborhood.
“Proposed uses include corporate headquarters, medical and senior housing.”
The 6-acre property is zoned as “C-2 – Commercial.”
But …
The developer who apparently purchased the property seems to have other ideas.
According to Scottsdale-based developer of industrial, retail, office and multifamily real estate properties:
“KB DEVCO is planning to construct 121 units at 13875 N Northsight Blvd. in Scottsdale.”
Asked about the project, Erin Walsh, a Scottsdale spokeswoman, said an application for the “multifamily conversion case at 13875 N Northsight Blvd.” was submitted July 2.
The Planning Department “sent back comments and are awaiting their second submittal.
“This is for about 275 dwelling units (five stories),” Walsh added, “on the 4.5-acre site.”
The owner is listed as a limited liability company called Northsight Partners, in turn owned by Benjamin Johnson – president of KB Development Company.
The city’s strategy in this test case for the new law will not be open to the public, as the Oct. 6 executive session is a closed affair.
