Overview
What Is
Kierland?
Kierland is a mixed use district in Central Scottsdale anchored by Kierland Commons, the open air lifestyle retail center that debuted in the late 1990s and became the national model for walkable suburban retail. The development pioneered the concept of integrating high end shopping, dining, residential, and hospitality in a single walkable campus, and its success inspired similar developments across the country.
Residential options include Optima Kierland (luxury condominiums), Kierland Greens (single family homes), and several townhome and condominium communities within walking distance of the retail core. The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa provides residents with access to world class hospitality amenities, including a waterslide complex, championship golf at the Kierland Golf Club, and multiple dining venues.
The adjacent Scottsdale Quarter adds another 40+ retailers and restaurants to the walkable ecosystem, creating a combined retail and dining destination of over 100 options within a compact, pedestrian friendly footprint. For buyers who want the convenience of urban walkability with the climate, space, and lifestyle of Scottsdale, Kierland delivers a proposition that no other Arizona neighborhood can match.
