What It Means to Live the Optima Way

At Optima Kierland, we’ve asked the same question from the very beginning: what does it mean to build a place where people genuinely thrive? The answer lives in the quality of desert light through a floor-to-ceiling window on a Tuesday morning. In the morning run on Arizona’s first rooftop running track. In the feeling, hard to name but impossible to miss, that the place you’ve come home to was built by people who cared deeply. That feeling has a foundation. It’s what we call the Optima way.

A Growth Mindset, Built Into Everything

Since Optima’s founding, growth has been defined on our own terms, not by market cycles, but by a continuing journey to expand what’s possible in the built environment. At Optima Kierland, that mindset produced one of the most ambitious residential communities in North Scottsdale: five towers, 9.5 acres of lushly landscaped grounds, and a suite of amenities, from Arizona’s first rooftop running track to a covered pickleball arena, that continues to set the standard for luxury apartment living in the desert.

The Freedom to Innovate

At Optima, we control every aspect of the design, development, and management process, and that integration is what gives us the freedom to make decisions based on what we believe is right, without compromise. At Optima Kierland, that freedom produced living facades that soften five towers of modern architecture with cascading greenery. A rooftop running track with mountain views that makes morning movement feel like a reward. An Olympic-length pool and glass-enclosed sauna that make staying home the easiest choice. When you own the entire process, you can hold the vision all the way to the end.

Committed to Lasting Impact

Everything Optima builds is designed to withstand the aesthetic test of time. We challenge what’s accepted and defy what’s expected. At Optima Kierland, that means a multi-tower community in North Scottsdale that has raised the bar for luxury desert living and continues to, across five towers, a growing resident community, and an address that gets better with time. The goal is never the moment. It’s always the bigger picture.

Passion for Creating Together

At Optima, everyone creates. Our culture is defined by openness and collaboration, the belief that the best ideas can come from anywhere. At Optima Kierland, that culture is visible in every shared space: the 9.5 acres of landscaped courtyards that turn the space between buildings into a neighborhood, the amenities that bring residents together daily, the management team that takes the experience of living here personally. The passion for creating together doesn’t stop at the property line.

All In, All the Time

We are as passionate about the small details as we are about the big picture. The placement of a planter on a rooftop terrace. The glass that encloses the sauna with a view worth looking at. The material chosen for a countertop because it gets more beautiful with use. These are not finishing touches at Optima Kierland. They are the whole point, because residents experience them every single day, and every single day is worth getting right.
