At the heart of the community is a 215-room Ritz-Carlton resort that will be surrounded by 80 single-level Ritz-Carlton Residences Villas, which are 100% sold, and 32 single-family Ritz-Carlton branded and serviced Estate Homes. As for the retail and restaurant component, there is approximately 160,000 square feet of high-end, mixed-use space located on 22 acres at the corner of Scottsdale and Indian Bend roads.

\Home to more than 60 exceptional luxury and specialty boutiques as part of the fourth phase, The Palmeraie will also incorporate a variety of dining destinations lead by best-in-class, celebrated local and international chefs. FENDI Private Residences will open its first ground-up residential enclave in North America at The Palmeraie with a boutique collection of 52 elegantly crafted residences with five unequaled penthouses. The interest list is currently forming with a sales campaign beginning later this year.
