Alta Scottsdale Apartments To Replace Rural Metro Center In Scottsdale

Apartment, Condo Complexes, Fry’s Revamp Get Scottsdale Council OK

An apartment complex that will replace Rural/Metro’s Corp’s billing and call center was approved by the Scottsdale City Council on Tuesday.

The council also gave the go-ahead for an eight-story condominium complex in downtown’s entertainment district and a face lift for an aging Fry’s shopping center.

Wood Partners, a developer of multifamily residences, plans to build a four-story, 218-unit apartment complex at the northeastern corner of Indian School and Granite Reef roads. The site has been home to the Rural/Metro center, which is closing.

The $35 million apartment complex will be named Alta Scottsdale.

Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the council:

Voted, 5-2, to approve a downtown infill-incentive district application and development plan for Hewson Investments to build a taller and more dense condominium complex than was originally approved in 2007.

The complex will replace the Lodge, an area bar, and adjacent parking near the southwestern corner of Indian Plaza Road and 75th Street.

The proposal includes the developer paying for $880,000 in infrastructure and other improvements in exchange for increased height and density — to 112 units and eight floors from 45 units and four floors.

The council unanimously approved a rezoning request by Miller Plaza LLC and Fry’s Food Stores to allow the replacement of the existing Fry’s store with a new, larger building, as well as renovation of other buildings in the shopping center northeast of Miller and Indian School roads.  - more at azcentral.com
