The Marketplace at Lincoln & Scottsdale, home to tenants such as SumoMaya, Scramble and Opus Bank, feels like a destination. The redevelopment infill project brings a contemporary design with a composite of artistic masonry, porcelain tile, recycled wood and concrete slats. Active display windows and roll-up doors facing outward to Scottsdale Road help activate the section of the street with the liveliness of the tenants. Construction on the two single-story shops ran concurrently with a high-density multifamily project, which brought some challenges to the already tight infill site, including existing 69KVA power lines along Scottsdale Road.
