this building.
Why it matters
Scottsdale Waterfront has a reputation for being one of the most complex buildings to renovate in the valley. Architectural review, loading protocols, material delivery windows, loading dock logistics. We understand exactly what each one requires. That means fewer surprises for buyers, and a smoother transaction for realtors.
Architectural review
We're actively working within Scottsdale Waterfront's architectural review process and understand exactly what it takes to get projects through committee, including the documentation, commercial licensing requirements, and timelines involved.
Construction logistics
Loading dock schedules, material delivery windows, and vertical transport from dock to unit. We have managed this before and built it into our project timeline from day one.
One team, one contract
Design and construction under a single firm. No finger-pointing between a designer and a contractor. The design is buildable because the same team is building it.
Building logistics
Working here means coordinating contractor parking offsite, scheduling the loading docks, and transporting materials a significant distance. We account for this from the start, and it shapes our crew selection, timeline, and budget.
How we work
A process built for high-stakes renovations.
Most renovation projects fail not because of design, but because design and construction are never fully aligned. We solve that at the start, not after demo day.
01 / Discovery
Goals, scope, and budget alignment
We start with a consultation that covers your vision, realistic budget ranges, and how the building's restrictions shape what's possible.
02 / Design
Boards, elevations, and renderings
You see the full picture before anything is purchased or permitted. Design boards, detailed elevations, and 3D renderings that leave no room for guesswork.
03 / Build
Permitted, managed, and on schedule
Our licensed commercial general contracting team handles permits, trade coordination, and daily site management. Every subcontractor is commercially licensed as required by the building. You receive regular updates without having to chase them.
04 / Install
Furnishings and final styling
Furniture, art, and accessories are sourced, delivered, and installed by us. The unit is move-in ready or listing-ready, depending on what you need.
The transformation
Before & After
These are the renderings of what the spaces will look like.
Design brought to life before a single wall comes down.
Every project begins with a full design package: concept boards, material selections, detailed elevation drawings, and photorealistic 3D renderings. Buyers know exactly what they are committing to. There are no surprises.
Concept Board
Materials, finishes, palette, and fixtures presented as a cohesive vision before any selections are finalized.
Floor Plans
Scaled space plans with furniture layouts and clearances, mapping how each room lives before construction begins.
Design Boards
Room-by-room selections of furniture, lighting, art, and textiles assembled into a single curated composition.
Elevation Drawings
Scaled technical drawings of each wall plane, showing cabinetry heights, tile layouts, and millwork detail.
3D Renderings
Photorealistic views of finished spaces so buyers can feel the transformation before construction begins.
The Final Reveal
Photography of the completed renovation, captured once the last piece is styled and the space is move-in ready.
What stood out to us about working with Living with Lolo was their transparency, ability to manage the entire scope of the project under one roof, and their commitment to meeting our tight timeline.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you renovate a condo at Scottsdale Waterfront?
Yes. Living with Lolo has direct experience managing renovations inside Scottsdale Waterfront, one of the most complex condo buildings to renovate in the Scottsdale area. We are familiar with the HOA approval process, construction logistics, material delivery protocols, and loading dock scheduling requirements specific to this building.
Do I need a licensed commercial general contractor to renovate at Scottsdale Waterfront?
Yes. Scottsdale Waterfront requires permits and licensed contractor oversight for renovation work, and the building requires a licensed commercial general contractor. Living with Lolo holds an active Arizona ROC license (ROC #347577). All subcontractors on the project must also be commercially licensed, which is a requirement of the building, and we coordinate that from the start.
What does a condo renovation at Scottsdale Waterfront typically cost?
Full renovation projects at Living with Lolo start at $150,000. Project scope, finishes, and square footage all affect the final investment. We provide a detailed scope and budget alignment during our initial consultation before any work begins.
How long does a condo renovation at Scottsdale Waterfront take?
Every project at Scottsdale Waterfront comes with a full project schedule built around this building's specific requirements. We create that timeline with you once we're under contract, so you always have complete visibility from day one. Because we manage both design and construction in-house, we eliminate the delays that typically occur when those two teams are separate.
What is a design-build firm and why does it matter for a condo renovation?
A design-build firm provides interior design and licensed commercial general contracting under one contract and one team. This means the design is buildable from the start, there is one point of contact for the entire project, and decisions that affect both design and construction are made together rather than in conflict. At Scottsdale Waterfront, where building logistics add complexity, having one accountable team significantly reduces risk for buyers and owners.
