A beautifully designed building is a starting point. The courtyards, the sky decks, the residents’ clubs and rooftop pools, these spaces are built to support a certain quality of life. But the quality of life they produce depends on something architecture alone cannot deliver: the people inside them, and what brings them together.

At Optima, resident events have always been understood as the living expression of the design philosophy. The same care that goes into the placement of a planter on a rooftop terrace goes into the calendar of events that fills that terrace with people on a Saturday evening. The two are inseparable. One creates the stage. The other is the performance.

At Optima, design doesn’t stop at the building’s exterior. It runs all the way through, into every lobby, every residents’ club, every lounge and business center and sky deck where people arrive, pause, gather, or simply choose to stay a little longer. The furniture and objects that furnish our shared spaces are chosen with the same deliberateness as every architectural decision: for their form, their quality, their relationship to the architecture around them, and their ability to make a common area feel genuinely worth spending time in.

This is what the Forever Modern philosophy looks like in practice, not as a tagline, but as a daily commitment to placing objects of genuine design merit in the places where people actually live.

There is a moment that happens to almost every new resident of an Optima community. They take the elevator to the top for the first time, step out onto the sky deck, and stop. Not because they weren’t expecting something good, they were. But because what’s actually there exceeds what they imagined was possible from the roof of a residential building.

That reaction isn’t accidental. It’s the result of a design philosophy that has treated the sky deck not as a finishing touch, but as one of the most important spaces in the entire community.

Explore luxury rooftop sky decks at Optima, with pools, panoramic views, and thoughtfully designed spaces redefining modern living.

Every building tells a story about the people who designed it, their values, their obsessions, their vision for what a place could be. At Optima, that story begins in 1978, with a conviction that architecture should lead, and that the only way to hold that vision without compromise was to own the entire process from the beginning.

Discover the Optima design legacy, where modern architecture, sustainability, and vertically integrated development come together to create luxury communities designed to enhance how you live.

Most people experience great art on a schedule, a museum visit, a gallery afternoon, a curated occasion. At Optima, we’ve always believed that great art shouldn’t require an appointment. It should be part of the texture of daily life, as present and as natural as the light that fills our buildings each morning.

Discover how sculpture and public art transform residential communities, enhancing everyday living through thoughtful, design-driven architecture.

Ferrari chose Optima McDowell Mountain as the venue to kick off Scottsdale Art Week.

The evening brought a fashion show to our rooftop in North Scottsdale, and it was exactly the kind of moment that speaks for itself. Exceptional design attracts exceptional company. That's not a coincidence.

Optima McDowell Mountain will bring 1,330 luxury residences, six towers, and an amenity package that sets a new standard for resort-style living in Arizona. Evenings like this are a preview of the community taking shape here.

We're building the team that will bring it to life, including a Senior Leasing Consultant at Optima McDowell Mountain. Link to all open roles in the first comment.

Sustainable architecture gets a lot of attention for what it does for the environment. But there’s a quieter, more personal story worth telling, about what it does for the people living inside it. At Optima, green building design has always been both things at once: responsible to the planet, and deeply beneficial to the resident.
