Neighbors fight planned high-rise at Kierland A battle over a new tower in Phoenix’s upscale Kierland neighborhood is currently brewing. As usual, much of the zoning fight is over height. Neighbors of a hotel/condominium/retail high-rise proposed by DMB Development in the popular area don’t want the new building higher than others nearby. Some of the opponents will live in one of three Optima Kierland condo towers under construction and would be close neighbors of the new building at Scottsdale Road and East Kierland Boulevard. Others against the new development live in other homes in the Kierland area and are concerned about the amount of traffic a development of that size would bring. “We aren’t anti-development, but if they keep building towers, Scottsdale Road is going to have a canyon effect,” said Amy Satterfield, who has lived in a home in the area for 19 years. Kierland is physically in Phoenix but carries a Scottsdale address.

posed high-rise formed the Kierland Community Alliance to fight the new development. About 150 from the group showed up at a Paradise Village Planning Committee meeting a few weeks ago to show their opposition. “Land-use changes make for some of the most combative meetings in Arizona,” said realestate analyst Mark Stapp, director of the Master of Real Estate Development program at Arizona State University. “People are very emotional and opinionated when it comes to their property and what a zoning change might mean for their values.” He disagrees that a zoning change for the DMB site will lead to many other high-rises along Scottsdale Road. “Kierland has become one of the Valley’s higher-density growth nodes,” he said. “The area’s residents may not like that, but it has already happened.”

Taller, thinner vs. shorter, wider In the new Kierland tower case, the fight is basically over 76 feet — or six stories.
