Nelsen Partners worked closely with the developer Woodbine Southwest to establish a “main-street” development that could serve as both a retail destination, as well as a town center for the surrounding community of north Scottsdale. Boasting over 800,000 sf of vertically integrated high-end retail, residential, office and restaurant space within a 38-acre site, our team was able to create a unique development solution that addressed its desert location using urban planning principles. This project has become the leader and inspiration for retail and mixed-use developments throughout the United States. In 2009, Kierland Commons was only one of ten projects awarded the prestigious ULI Award for Excellence.
