This luxury condo remodel in Kierland Commons transformed a dated Scottsdale unit with modern flooring, spa-inspired bathrooms, upgraded lighting, and custom trade work. ArDan Construction carefully coordinated the renovation around condo building requirements while creating a clean, contemporary living space.
Luxury condo living in Scottsdale should feel polished, functional, and effortless. For this Kierland Commons remodel, the goal was to modernize the interior while improving comfort, lighting, and flow throughout the home.
The existing condo had outdated flooring, aging finishes, limited lighting, and layout challenges common in older luxury condo communities. The homeowner wanted a refined and modern design while maintaining the convenience and walkability that make Kierland Commons one of Scottsdale’s most desirable places to live.
This remodel focused on thoughtful upgrades that elevated everyday living without changing the overall footprint of the unit.
A Thoughtfully Planned Luxury Condo Remodel
Condo remodels require a different level of planning compared to traditional home renovations. Building access, HOA requirements, plumbing limitations, and shared infrastructure all need to be considered before construction begins.
For this project, ArDan Construction coordinated demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, and finish work while carefully working within condo building restrictions.
The remodel included:
- Full interior painting
- New luxury wood flooring throughout the condo
- Modernized kitchen rough trades
- Bathroom renovations
- New powder bathroom construction
- Updated lighting throughout
- Door relocation and framing changes
- Smart thermostat installation
- Custom electrical and plumbing modifications
The result is a clean and contemporary condo designed for modern Scottsdale living.
Kitchen Improvements with Smarter Functionality
The kitchen renovation focused on improving layout flexibility and preparing the space for custom cabinetry and luxury appliances.
During demolition, the team discovered the peninsula plumbing was located in the concrete slab, limiting relocation options. Instead of cutting the slab, the layout was redesigned with strategic framing and rough trade adjustments to accommodate the new kitchen configuration.
This type of problem-solving is one of the most overlooked parts of luxury condo remodeling in Scottsdale.
Kitchen upgrades included:
- New recessed LED lighting
- Pendant lighting installation
- Relocated electrical outlets and switches
- Updated plumbing rough-ins
- Undercabinet lighting preparation
- New drywall and texture work
- Modern fixture selections in satin nickel finishes
The space was designed to feel brighter, more open, and better suited for entertaining.
Spa-Inspired Bathroom Renovations
The bathrooms were redesigned to create a more elevated and relaxing atmosphere while improving functionality.
The primary bathroom renovation included a freestanding soaking tub, new shower tile, upgraded plumbing fixtures, improved lighting, and frameless shower glass. Large-format tile and satin nickel finishes helped create a clean and timeless look throughout the space.
Highlights included:
- Freestanding Signature Hardware tub
- California Faucets fixtures
- Frameless Starphire shower glass
- Panasonic Whisper exhaust fans
- New porcelain tile flooring and shower walls
- Custom lighting rough-ins
- Floating modern aesthetic throughout
The guest bathroom and new powder bathroom continued the same warm contemporary style with upgraded plumbing fixtures, tile flooring, lighting, and modern accessories.
Flooring, Lighting, and Interior Updates
One of the biggest transformations in the condo came from the new flooring and lighting plan.
The existing flooring and baseboards were removed and replaced with Pergo Extreme Ultra wood flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. New six-inch baseboards helped give the condo a more custom appearance while tying each room together visually.
Lighting upgrades included:
- Adjustable dimmable LED can lights
- New foyer lighting
- Bathroom lighting improvements
- Added receptacles for motorized window coverings
- USB-C outlet upgrades
- Additional television and media connections
The combination of updated flooring, lighting, and paint dramatically changed the feel of the condo, creating a brighter and more cohesive interior.
Hidden-Gem Insight for Scottsdale Condo Remodels
Many Scottsdale condo buildings near Kierland Commons and Optima-style developments have strict limitations on concrete slab modifications. Kitchen drains, plumbing vents, and electrical pathways often cannot be relocated easily.
Experienced condo remodeling contractors plan layouts around these restrictions early in the process to avoid expensive redesigns, HOA delays, and unnecessary demolition later.
