“Loft homes in Downtown Phoenix are definitely the hottest commodity around,” said Kristin Bickley, real estate agent with Realty Executives and the Broker of Record for Capitol Lofts. “Urban dwellers love the hip loft lifestyle, but the majority of the Downtown Phoenix lofts are expensive and typically out of reach for the average buyer, and Capitol Lofts will offer a hugely in-demand lifestyle at an affordable price point,” she said.
