REPLAY DESTINATIONS ACQUIRES PRIME DEVELOPMENT PARCELS ADJACENT TO THE PHOENICIAN®, A LUXURY COLLECTION RESORT IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA
Limited Collection of Ascent at The Phoenician® Golf Villas Available Now
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA – October 30, 2020 – Replay Destinations (‘Replay’) announced today that it has
acquired real estate development parcels at The Phoenician®, a Luxury Collection Resort in Scottsdale,
Arizona. The planned private residential community will sit at the foot of Camelback Mountain, overlooking the
Phoenician® Golf Club. Known as Ascent at The Phoenician®, the project will become a true legacy property
in one of Arizona’s most celebrated locations. Replay has acquired the development parcels from affiliates of
Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (‘Host’), owner of The Phoenician®, a Luxury Collection Resort, which is
consistently recognized as one of the world’s finest luxury resort destinations.
“Designed as a luxurious desert sanctuary in the heart of Scottsdale, Ascent at The Phoenician® will offer
buyers the rare opportunity to live at one of the region’s most prestigious addresses. At this time when home is
more important than ever, we have incorporated contemporary design, spacious indoor/outdoor living spaces,
and private entrances in a world-class location to enjoy the beautiful desert,” said Gary Raymond, Managing
Director, Replay Destinations.
Ascent at The Phoenician® will consist of approximately 195 properties, including condominiums at the base of
Camelback Mountain and Ascent Golf Villas along the first fairway of the Phoenician® Golf Club. A planned
private pool and fitness amenity tucked up against Camelback Mountain will be an intimate gathering place for
wellness, socializing and relaxation. With views overlooking the new Phoenician® Golf Club and Camelback
Mountain along with the city lights of Scottsdale, home designs will feature contemporary architecture
integrating warm, natural materials, expansive windows and large outdoor living areas. Residents will also have
a limited opportunity to join a Phoenician® Amenity Access Program that provides Ascent real estate owners
with access to resort amenities, including the pools and fitness facility, as well as preferred pricing for golf, spa,
food and beverage, and other services.
Reservations are now being accepted for the first release of luxury homes within the Ascent community – a
limited collection of 30 golf villa homes situated on the first fairway of the new Phoenician® Golf Club and
adjacent to the golf clubhouse and new Phoenician® Tavern Restaurant. Ranging from two bedrooms to three
bedroom and den/office plans, the homes will offer spacious indoor living transitioning to generous outdoor
living. Priced from $1,785,000, the Ascent Golf Villas offer private two-car garages with additional storage.
Generous outdoor living areas include spectacular upper level patio decks opening to views of the golf course
and Camelback Mountain. Priority reservations are being accepted via a formal Reservation Agreement along
with a $5,000 refundable deposit. Reservation holders will have the ability to select a home at pre-construction
pricing with final purchase contracts being written later this fall.
“Host Hotels and Resorts is thrilled that Replay Destinations is acquiring these real estate development parcels
at The Phoenician®, a Luxury Collection Resort for this legacy project,” said Linda Laniado, Vice President of
Investments at Host. “Replay is known internationally for creating one-of-a-kind projects in storied resort
locations across the globe. It was their understanding and design approach to creating the ultimate luxury resort
lifestyle that intrigued our team. We strongly align around the vision for this place and look forward to seeing it
become a reality.”
Replay’s development team for Ascent at The Phoenician® is based in Phoenix, and they have assembled an
award-winning local design team. The team includes Nelsen Partners, an architecture & planning firm founded
in 1990; Vallone Design, a leading, full-service interior design firm specializing in exquisite residential and

“Scottsdale, Arizona continues to be recognized as one of the most desirable areas in the U.S. to own a home
and experience everything Scottsdale and the surrounding Phoenix area offers. We could not be more pleased to
be creating a residential community in such a storied location,” said Paul Jorgensen, CEO of Replay
Destinations in Vancouver, British Columbia. “The market fits very well with our growing portfolio of
destination real estate developments in sought after locations like Hawaii, Sonoma Wine Country, Cabo San
Lucas and the Caribbean.”

some of the world’s most sought-after settings. The team immerses itself in the experiences of each location,
delving deep into its stories and uncovering its specific character. Replay values opportunities for learning,

and interiors.
“The Phoenician®, a Luxury Collection Resort is one of the premier resort destinations in the United States, and
we are honored to work in conjunction with Host in creating a special residential community,” Raymond said.
“With The Phoenician®, a Luxury Collection Resort’s recent renovation including new restaurant concepts, a
