Escena, a Mid Century Contemporary styled community in Palm Springs, is just another long-delayed development in our Coachella Valley currently experiencing a revival. Having debuted back in 2006, Escena held much promise with its offerings of an 18 hole Nicklaus golf course, fantastic clubhouse and dining facility and two innovative and modern-styled home developments by Lennar. It is ideally close to downtown Palm Springs, the Palm Springs International Airport, Interstate 10, Highway 111 and more (and let’s not forget its stunning views of Mount San Jacinto). And then, well you know the rest of the story . . . the economy took a nose dive.
The exciting news is that Alta Verde, the new developers at Escena, are planning this summer to begin selling Escena’s new homes, ranging in size from about 2,200sf to 2,800sf. These homes carry through, as one would expect from a modern, with open floor plans, clean lines and lots of glass . . . bringing the outdoors in. These homes are priced from the low $400,00s.
Alta Verde’s new homes in Palm Springs at Escena are different . . . different how, you ask??? Well, different enough that the new developers claim their homes boast modern space planning and design with a new edge, coupled with building technologies of today. They are calling their homes “This Century Modern.” Brilliant.
I’m Looking forward to previewing this new generation of home, “This Century Modern,” when they become available in the summer. Just part of Modern architecture’s evolution and changing with and for the times. History in the making.
