Portland Place offers park setting in downtown Phoenix
July 21st, 2008 categories: Phoenix condos, lofts and townhouses
At Portland Place you get a downtown Phoenix address in a charming park setting.
Located at Portland Street between Central and Third avenues, Portland Place is in the Roosevelt Historic District and just a few minutes from downtown attractions. In front of the condo building, Portland Parkway’s gas-lamp-style streetlights and wide grassy median with benches and monuments give the quiet street a quaint look. Just a stroll away is Margaret T. Hance Park, the Ro Ho En Japanese garden, Calabria Italian Grocery & Deli, Portland’s Restaurant & Wine Bar and light rail stops.
One of the highlights of the 53-unit, six-story residential building is the roof, which not only has amenities like a barbeque area, wet bar and heated pool, but striking panoramic views of the city. To the north is the Japanese garden and Piestawa Peak; to the south is the downtown skyline; to the west is Interstate 10; to the east is Central Avenue and the light rail.
Other common area amenities include a lobby, conference room and underground parking.
The one- and two-bedroom units are priced from the $300s to $1.45 million. Size ranges from 800 to 2,829 square feet.
The modern interiors vary in features and finishes. Suffice it to say that many of the remaining units have had significant upgrades.
DAVIS, a Tempe-based architecture firm, won a Gold Nugget award for Best Attached Housing Project of between four and seven stories for their design of Portland Place last month in an award ceremony in San Francisco. The annual award program honors achievements in architectural design and land use planning. Entries come from 14 Western states as well as internationally.
Construction of Portland Place was completed in 2007. Sales agents for the property say plans for a 10-story and a 12-story building are on hold until the Phoenix housing glut ends.
