Greystar Begins Pre-Leasing for Azur, Latest Luxury Community in CityNorth

Greystar, a global leader in the investment, development, and management of real estate, has announced that pre-leasing for its latest luxury apartment community, Azur, has begun this month.

Upon completion, Azur will feature 348 apartment homes across 7 floors and 13 luxury floor plans. The first 100 residences and community amenities will open for initial move-ins in January. For the first 20 residents, Azur will offer Founder’s Club offerings valued at more than $500.

Situated in Phoenix’s emerging CityNorth urban core (20700 N. 55th Street, Phoenix), Azur is a key piece in the master-planned district set to bring more than 3,400 apartment units, 2 million square feet of Class A office space, 1,000 hotel rooms and numerous new restaurants to the heart of the Desert Ridge area.

“Azur reflects our commitment to elevated living in Desert Ridge,” said Billy Cundiff, Greystar Desert Managing Director for Development. “Our goal is to deliver a community where residents enjoy exceptional amenities, modern design and the convenience of living in one of Phoenix’s most desirable neighborhoods.”

Located near some of the Valley’s top employers, Azur was built with convenience and sophistication top of mind.

“We designed this building to meet the growing housing demand from growing local employers including The Mayo Clinic, American Express, Avnet and Republic Services, among others,” said Jorge Piña, Managing Partner at SofMac Partners, equity partner for Azur. “The quality of finishes and expansive resort-style amenities are a perfect fit for their discerning employees.”

Azur takes its name from Azurite, a vivid gemstone found in copper-rich states like Arizona and known for its calming, balancing qualities. Much like its namesake, Azur is designed to evoke a sense of tranquility and connection through thoughtfully curated amenities and modern design alongside stunning views of the McDowell Mountains and beyond.

Azur offers a variety of one- and two-bedroom residences featuring high ceilings, quartz countertops, ceramic tile backsplashes, California closets, stainless steel appliances, plank flooring, oversized windows for natural light and a full-size washer and dryer in every home. Apartment home floorplans range from 621 to 1419 square feet. Unique to the area, floorplans will also include a selection of two-bedroom apartment homes with 2.5 bathrooms.

Community amenities are designed to promote wellness, productivity and connection, including:

• Rooftop resort-style pool and fitness center with Peloton equipment, TRX, free weights and kettlebells
• Dedicated yoga and Pilates space with reformer equipment
• Hot-and-cold plunge spa, sauna and rooftop pool
• Clubhouse with coworking stations and private conference rooms
• Outdoor grilling areas with fire pits and lounge seating
• Dog wash station and bike storage
• Patio balconies in each home, with select apartments featuring wraparound balconies

Adding to its accessible lifestyle, residents will soon enjoy Sprouts Farmers Market and Press Coffee opening across the street from Azur in August 2026, enhancing the blend of convenience and community just a short distance from home. Azur is also within a short distance of Desert Ridge Marketplace and High Street, and minutes from the natural beauty McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Azur blends innovative style with modern comforts to create a dynamic residential experience in North Phoenix.
