Downtown Phoenix, AZ Real Estate

 

Downtown Phoenix has risen from the ashes and is a great place for working professionals who desire a New York City lifestyle in the west. Over the last twenty years Downtown Phoenix has been undergoing a transformation with billions of dollars being spent on re-facing, transportation and roads, bringing new life into a downtown that during the eighties had seen an exodus of shops to suburban malls. The shops, restaurants and galleries have returned. Downtown Phoenix is once again the place to be!

It is a 90 square block packed with everything an urbanite could ask for. Downtown Phoenix offers some beautiful and very unique mid and high rise lofts and condominiums. The Orpheum Lofts, built in 1931 as an office building was once the tallest building in Phoenix at 11 stories high. It was restored in 2004 and has one of the most beautiful lobbies of any such building, with black marble walls, black and white floors that shine, an incredible marble staircase, and an elevator with brass doors. The lofts themselves feature red brick walls, exposed duct work, and the original wide white window casings popular in the twenties and thirties. With prices starting in the mid $100s they are a great buy, especially when you consider their amenities and location. The Orpheum has a full service business center, pool, spa, fitness center, valet, and 24 hour doorman.

If you are looking for something more modern, try the Summit at Copper Square, it is the tallest residential development in the Phoenix metro area. It offers the most fabulous views of downtown Phoenix and the surrounding valley of any high rise residence. The Summit at Copper Square is a gated community with a 24 hour guard and a plethora of fine amenities such as a gorgeous negative edge heated pool, spa, lounge, fitness center, terrace, and concierge. Prices start in the high 100’s making it a great choice for anyone who desires to live in the heart of downtown Phoenix and enjoy all that this city has to offer.
