Living at 4020 Scottsdale lofts eases transportation needs
June 20th, 2008 categories: Scottsdale condos, lofts and townhouses
When you live at 4020 Scottsdale Old Town Lofts, there’s less need for transportation — public or private.
Restaurants, coffee houses, nightlife, high-end art galleries and Scottsdale Fashion Square mall are all within walking distance of the development at the northwest corner of Scottsdale Road and 1st Avenue. Additionally, the ground floor of the building will soon have a restaurant, dessert shop and a national bank.
Features include the following:
- 10- to 12- foot ceilings and exposed ceilings.
- Sleek and contemporary finishes.
- KitchenAid stainless steel appliances.
- Concrete floors.
- Private patios.
- Reserved parking in the underground garage.
- Elevator to all levels.
Construction of the 21-unit building, which held offices before it was converted, is expected to be completed this month. Prices go from about $465,000 to $676,000 and unit size from roughly 900 to 1,300 square feet.
Tempe-based Architekton, an architecture and planning firm whose past projects include Tempe Center for the Arts and the Arizona State University Foundation Headquarters, designed the lofts.
