TERRAVITA COMPLETING YET ANOTHER UPDATE TO THEIR AMENITIES Terravita continues to prove its commitment to stay at the forefront of best membership experience with a $5.2 million-dollar renovation of their main clubhouse. This improvement is the culmination of years of planning based on their member’s input. In 2012, the community completed a fantastic
update and expansion of the already great fitness facility. They followed that with a complete overhaul and expansion of the community center in 2016. Now they are in the middle of making current their main clubhouse, which serves as the focal point for the 50 or 60 different social organizations that are the heart and the hub of the community. The new design aims to maximize the views from inside the clubhouse to the outdoor desert and mountain vistas. It will also capitalize on our area’s fantastic outdoor living by incorporating sliding door systems and additional terrace seating. The disappearing sliding doors remind me of the first time I saw that feature at Isabella’s Kitchen in Grayhawk. Very exciting stuff! I was on staff with the developer, and a member of the club when the first club house was built, and it was fantastic. These changes should add immensely to Terravita’s incredible lifestyle value. OTHER SCOTTSDALE NORTH COMMUNITIES We have heard rumors that Winfield is evaluating the possibility of adding Pickleball to their amenities but could not verify that. Possibly more next month. Bellasera is apparently in the process of renovating their clubhouse and revitalizing their mailboxes.
