SCOTTSDALE, AZ-A year and a half after De Rito Partners Development Inc. acquired Scottsdale Pavilions , the developer is ready to move on the first major activity of its ownership. With the man-made lakes at the west entrance of the 1.1-million-square-foot retail asset now drained, up to 23 acres is now available for more development and De Rito Partners is actively seeking development partners to get the process moving.

De Rito Partners president Chuck Carlise tells GlobeSt.com that the man-made lakes looked pretty, but their purpose wasn’t quite so lovely. Because the project at 9175 E. Indian Bend had been built 20 years ago on Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian land, original developer Vestar had to create a way to deal with the wastewater.

“The water, once treated, was stored in the lovely lakes up front,” Carlise explains. “Once we told everyone that the lake water was actually sewage water, they were happy with the concept of us removing the lakes.” The water has been drained, used for irrigation and “of course, that’s a tremendous upside for us because now we can develop on those areas,” Carlise comments.
