Shea Homes announced new details today of Azure, a Shea Signature Community, featuring 66 homes located within the 105-acre master-planned community known as The Ritz-Carlton, Paradise Valley that is currently under development. 

Priced from the $2 millions, Azure offers multi-level homes available in five different residence plans. All homes feature main and lower-level living spaces and range from approximately 3,800 square feet to 6,700 square feet featuring guest suites, detached casitas and detached garage options. All 66 homes will be made available during a private selection event on June 10 for prospective buyers that have registered.

“The opportunity to own a new-build home in Paradise Valley on a home site that is less than an acre is very rare,” said Ken Peterson, VP of Sales and Marketing for Shea Homes Arizona. “To bring our vision of Azure and our first Shea Signature community to life, we collaborated with some of the most respected design firms in the state.” 

Designed in collaboration with the award-winning firm PHX Architecture, led by president Erik B. Peterson, homes at Azure will feature transitional and transformative architecture that uses traditional form in a contemporary way. Diverse exterior materials from wood and stone to metal and stucco create a unique exterior aesthetic, while each floorplan includes nods to elements of traditional Paradise Valley homes including ranch-style layouts and large entryways. Blurring the lines of indoor/outdoor living, each home will feature a Great Room with expansive outdoor living space. 

“Being a partner in the design of such an important parcel in Paradise Valley is truly exciting,” said Erik Peterson. “The design of Azure is a contemporary take on a simple house form, which makes it both unique and fitting to the existing landscape of the area,” added Scott Carson, principal at PHX Architecture and lead architect on the project. 

To bring the entire community to life, architectural landscape designed by Scottsdale firm Greey|Pickett will feature a bold, direct and contemporary design that blends evergreen trees and groves with native desert trees, plants, shrubs and cactus and will feature a variety of metal materials and smooth block and stone to create unique walls, fencing, street accents and the community access gate.

In addition to partnering with some of the Valley’s top design firms, Shea Homes is also exploring opportunities to feature preferred partnerships with marquee brands such as Ann Sacks, Gaggenau, Rohl, and more to enhance each home at Azure.

Residents at Azure will experience a new way of living in Paradise Valley focused on walkability to Arizona’s top dining, shopping and world-class spas – all coming soon to the master-planned resort community. Neighboring Azure, The Palmeraie™, an ultra-luxe shopping and dining destination by Five Star Development is planned to be home to more than 60 exceptional designer brands and specialty boutiques along with a variety of restaurants led by celebrated local and international chefs.

Azure is the first Shea Signature community developed by Shea Homes, a new luxury brand focused on exclusive living experiences. At the heart of the Shea Signature brand is incomparable elegance, exceptional materials, meticulous craftsmanship and sophisticated styles. Shea Homes is one of the nation’s largest private homebuilders, family-owned, and dedicated to providing meaningful differences in design, quality and service throughout the home buying and ownership experience
