Scottsdale-based Cullum Homes and Canada-based Replay Destinations are seeing success at the new Ascent at The Phoenician community, where they are building luxury condominiums and custom homes.
Rod Cullum, president and CEO of Cullum Homes, will build 51 custom-home lots at Ascent, where prices range from $2.8 million to more than $7.5 million.
