Aura at Camelback seamlessly blends environmental sustainability and balanced luxury with a deep sense of community. Aura at Camelback embodies sound environmental design and remarkable aesthetics, with the best urban location in the Phoenix metroplex. Shopping, dining, nightlife, the best private schools and prime office space put Aura at Camelback in the midst of one of the most popular and luxurious regions in the Southwest.
Sustainable Community
With 36 private residential retreats set on more than two lushly landscaped acres, Aura at Camelback offers its residents the opportunity to engage in the green standard of homebuilding, which, for many, represents a necessary mode of living in the 21st century.
“Sustainable” is a concept that’s been getting a lot of attention these days. However, the vision for Aura at Camelback is rooted in the best meaning of what sustainable living represents. Aura at Camelback strives to respect the environment and honor the health of both our planet and ourselves through energy-efficient design. Aura at Camelback is proving that it’s possible to be a good steward of the planet without compromising the very best lifestyle that we can imagine for ourselves.
Balanced Luxury
Can residents practice a philosophy of sustainability and still live luxuriously? Aura at Camelback emphasizes “eco-luxury,” creating balance for its residents, asking them to give up nothing of true value in the process. A glance at plans for Aura at Camelback’s retreat-residences illustrate that they are spectacular by any measure. They feature innovative design, upgraded building materials, high-end appliances and numerous amenities. More importantly, Aura at Camelback offers another dimension of living that most condominium and town house developments fail to offer—one that radiates spaciousness, privacy, security and a healthy, vibrant living environment.
Authentic Community
A deep commitment to the notion of community is the third component for successful living at Aura—one which the design team has devoted considerable thought and planning. Aura at Camelback is consciously designed to be a “connected” community in such a way that it offers its residents the opportunity to regain an authentic sense of community and cooperation—qualities that have seemingly become lost over the last several decades. The Camelback corridor, with its rich array of high-end retail, restaurants, nightlife and entertainment venues, makes it the perfect setting for the brand of vibrant community living planned for Aura at Camelback. In fact, the Urban Land Institute recently tagged the intersection of 24th Street and Camelback as “the Valley’s hottest intersection.”
You can find sustainable luxury living at home—a home in Aura at Camelback.
Within the last decade, the “green building” philosophy has become widely touted in North America and has rapidly taken root as more and more homebuilders and buyers embrace the concept. Green is no longer just an idea. Green homes rely upon established and proven design features and technologies that do not have a significantly large cost to implement into a facade. In many cases, the reduction in operating costs will more than offset the additional up-front costs of a green home. Many green measures will reduce long term costs, particularly those features that involve energy and water efficiency. Aura at Camelback stresses that it isn’t enough to simply build a home that’s green; but the commitment challenges us to live green on a daily basis
Energy Efficient
Energy efficiency will be an abiding hallmark of Aura at Camelback’s design and it will deliver in several ways. In addition to its solar powered electricity systems, Aura at Camelback homes will qualify as “Zero Energy Homes,” a designation that is handed out by the U.S. Department of Energy. Aura at Camelback’s design will also incorporate water-saving features and numerous other eco-centered design methods.
Environmentally Friendly
One exciting, environmentally conscious outcome of Aura at Camelback will be to leverage solar technology in ways that the Valley has never before experienced. Aura at Camelback is on track to be the benchmark and set the stage for solar residential power projects in Arizona. Aura at Camelback is so unique because every single home in the Community will have immense solar capacity, saving up to 75 percent on electricity costs. Residents will have all the power they need and it will be power from the sun.
Measured Results

In fact, the Community is set to be the largest LEED Silver for Homes-certified project in Arizona. LEED is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design of high-performance, environmentally friendly real estate projects. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the residential sector accounts for 22% of the total energy consumed in the U.S. and 74 % of the water. LEED certified projects:
