Blue Sky plan downsized to appease nearby owners

Gray Development Group next week will submit the latest proposal for its Blue Sky luxury apartment complex north of Scottsdale Fashion Center with a lower number of units, maximum building height and the overall square footage. The latest plan is in response to negotiations with surrounding property owners, ST Residential and Triyar Properties, whose legal protests forced a supermajority vote of 6-1 for City Council approval. Both protests remain in place. Blue Sky is planned along Scottsdale Road west of the Safari Drive condominium complex. ST Residential owns and manages Safari Drive, while Triyar's retail center is on the northeastern corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads. Triyar has been receptive to Gray's concessions, but ST Residential hasn't budged, said Brian Kearney, Gray's chief operating officer. ST Residential spokesman Peter Marino said the company had no comment on Blue Sky. Shawn Yari, owner of Triyar Cos., couldn't be reached.
