SOHO Scottsdale Sales Center Opening
Working from home has never been so streamlined or stylish!
SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Buzz is building around SOHO Scottsdale, an innovative new live-work townhome, loft, and retail community located at 92nd Street and Bahia Drive in north Scottsdale Arizona.
The latest flurry of excitement is in response to the anticipated opening of the Sales Center, slated for this month.
“We are thrilled with the attention and excitement this project is generating,” says
Developer Irene Clary. “It confirms we have the right product for the right city. Scottsdale is known as a home base for many highly successful entrepreneurs and self-made business professionals. Our vision was to create a community that specifically caters to this group, affording a luxury lifestyle for living where you work and loving where you live.”
According to Global Workplace Analytics, the two areas showing the greatest growth surge over the past decade are telecommuting and home-based businesses, with an impressive 80% increase since 2005. Historically, home-based businesses or those who opt to telecommute, were relegated to make-shift office space or even kitchen tables. SOHO Scottsdale offers a technologically savvy alternative, seamlessly combining both living and work space, with clear demarcation between the two.
Three- and four-story townhomes have a designated space for home-based businesses on the ground floor with separate entrances. Offices are further enhanced with stylish roll-up, frosted glass doors opening to the enticing central courtyard. Residents enjoy the convenience of direct-access, two-car garages with ample parking provided for customers.
SOHO Scottsdale is the most recent collaboration between Clary, founder of Catclar Investments, and renowned architect Bing Hu of H&S International, in a succession of avant-garde, high-end urban communities.
“You’ll see this type of project throughout Asia,” notes Hu, “but it’s very different from anything else in Arizona. SOHO will be the coolest building in Scottsdale.”
Expansive and elegantly appointed townhomes, ranging from approximately 2,243- to 3,094-square-feet feature private, rooftop decks with optional spas affording dramatic views of the McDowell Mountains and surrounding desert landscape.
In addition, a four-story condo/retail building features 10 live/work loft-style residences located above the main floor’s office/retail space. Characterized by open floor plans, high ceilings and semi-exclusive elevator access, these flexible designs may be customized to extend up to 8,000-square- feet.
“SOHO Scottsdale is a unique blend of state-of-the-art office space and luxury, private residence,” says Clary. “Technology is integral to our vision and the very backbone of the community, providing all the tools necessary to successfully work remotely, virtually or at home. State-of-the-art interfacing allows residents to control all aspects of home and office from personal devices. You can control your thermostat, lights, garage door, wine room temperature or view any room in your home or office right from your smartphone.”
Heralding in a new era of internet, SOHO Scottsdale is also partnering with Cox Communications to provide Gigablast-1-GIG of power, delivering download speeds up to 100x faster than average Internet speeds. What this means in real time to residents is high-definition movies in seven minutes, 100 music downloads in three seconds and 1,000 photos in just 16 seconds. Gigablast services also includes: free cloud drive with up to 1-TB of space so you can store and share across all your devices, McAfee family protection with parental controls and media filtering and 10 email accounts with 10-GB of storage each.
Typically, working from home means relative isolation, but at SOHO Scottsdale residents are within walking distance to a variety of venues along the Bell Road corridor, including WestWorld, the Ice Den and AZ on the Rocks, an indoor rock-climbing gym. On-site amenities are slated to include a restaurant, bakery, coffee bar and central courtyard.
Standard townhome interior features include rich hardwood flooring on main floor, Kohler fixtures, Bosch stainless steel kitchen appliances, quartz countertops, spacious walk-in closets and many other amenities that would be considered upgrades in other communities. A myriad of options make it easy for buyers to customize their homes with the assistance of a complimentary 3-hour design consultation.
Quality construction includes double walls between homes for optimum sound attenuation, low-e tinted dual pane windows protect against strong desert sun, and copper wiring ensures durability of all 110V circuits throughout. In addition, energy-efficient air-conditioning with digital thermostats and tankless, gas water heaters translate into savings for residents.
“Every detail implemented is designed to enhance life whether working or at play,” says Clary. “You can start your day with a jog or bike ride, complete your business, then after a 30-second commute, unwind in your private roof-top spa. SOHO Scottsdale has been purposely designed for today’s tech generation, centered on lifestyle and workstyle.”
