Episode Details

A contentious battle unfolds on the Phoenix-Scottsdale line, as the Westin Kierland Resort owner proposes transforming their nine-hole Mesquite golf course into residential properties. The project, named Copper Residences, includes townhomes, condos, or apartments, while the other two courses, Acacia and Ironwood, remain as golf courses. The plan has been revised based on neighbor feedback, promising high-quality housing with water-saving features, trails, and open space. However, locals, like Mark LaPalm, who has lived in Kierland for twenty years, are strongly opposed, citing the loss of open golf views and the disruption of the original master plan. The resort owners argue its a smart, sustainable move, but residents are determined to fight the proposal at every step, from the Paradise Valley Village Planning Committee to the City Council.
