Mill Creek Residential Breaks Ground on Modera Old Town
On November 5, 2026, Mill Creek Residential—an esteemed developer in rental housing—announced the groundbreaking of a new project named Modera Old Town, located in the heart of Scottsdale's renowned Old Town neighborhood. With this endeavor, the firm aims to introduce 190 elegant homes that blend contemporary design with the historic charm of one of the Phoenix metro's most vibrant areas.
A Blend of Modernity and History
At the core of this development is the preservation of the iconic Kimsey Building, a mid-century modern structure that will serve as the leasing office and community amenity space. By incorporating this existing landmark, Modera Old Town will establish a unique identity within the bustling streetscape of Old Town, preserving the neighborhood's character while introducing a modern living experience.
Mark Sanford, the Vice President of Development for Mill Creek in Arizona, expressed excitement about the project: “Old Town Scottsdale is one of the most desirable living destinations in the Phoenix metro, and Modera Old Town is uniquely positioned to offer a top-of-market experience within it.” He emphasized the community's upscale amenities and proximity to the area's best retail, dining, and employment opportunities as key factors that would attract discerning renters.
Unmatched Location
Positioned at 7110 E Indian School Road, Modera Old Town offers residents easy access to top-tier shopping and dining options. Nearby features include the Scottsdale Fashion Square, Arizona's largest shopping mall, known for its luxury retailers and fine dining establishments. The thriving Scottsdale Waterfront and the chic 5th Avenue Shopping District are also just steps away, brimming with local restaurants, boutique shops, and art galleries.
For nightlife enthusiasts, the Scottsdale Entertainment District, featuring a variety of upscale bars and clubs, is within easy reach. Moreover, sports fans will appreciate the proximity to Scottsdale Stadium, which serves as the Spring Training home for the San Francisco Giants.
The community's excellent location ensures residents are well-connected to major thoroughfares, including Scottsdale Road and Indian School Road, while Loop 101 provides further connectivity to key employment centers in the metro area. Major employers such as SRP, General Dynamics Mission Systems, and HonorHealth contribute to the area's vibrant economy.
Luxurious Living Spaces
Modera Old Town will offer a diverse selection of living spaces, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, with options for den layouts. The community's extensive amenities will promote a high-quality lifestyle. Among the features will be a resort-style swimming pool, spa, outdoor catering areas, landscaped courtyards, a clubhouse, and a state-of-the-art fitness studio.
Additional perks include a robust co-working space, conference room, controlled-access garage parking, and dedicated storage options. Residents can also enjoy modern conveniences such as smart home features, in-unit washers and dryers, and elegant bathroom designs, including quartz countertops and spa-like soaking tubs.
