New Email Coming Soon!

Heads up, Grayhawk! We’re getting a new email system in the next few weeks. We’re hoping the switch is smooth and you won’t notice a thing. But if you think you’ve missed something from us, just send a quick email to Bri Minjarez at bminjarez@ccmcnet.com and she’ll make sure you’re back on track.

Talon and Raptor Gate Entrance Sidewalks

The City of Scottsdale will be conducting sidewalk and concrete repairs near both the Talon and Raptor gate entrances from December 15 to December 23. During this time, you may notice crews working in various areas as they complete ADA-related maintenance.

The City of Scottsdale may have a patrol officer stationed at both the Raptor and Talon gate at points during the project. This presence is simply to help monitor activity and ensure safety while work is underway.

We appreciate your patience during these improvements and will share any updates as they become available. Any questions regarding this project should be direct to the project superintendent, Tony Corona, at 480-433-7367.

Holiday Guest List

If you live in the Retreat and plan to have holiday guests this year, please remember to add your guests to your ABDI account. The guards will call on every guest that they have not been notified of prior to the party. If you are busy having fun and don’t hear your phone ring, your guest may be denied admittance, and that is no way to spread holiday cheer!

You can access your guest list through gateaccess.net or the ABDI Gate Access app. If you don't have your login information, you can request it here.
