High Life for Rent

Want Phoenix to feel like a big city? Change your perspective and rent one of these lofts.

Before QWERTY keyboards on the Blackberry and iPhone, you may remember predictive texting on the ‘ole number pad. We’ve all thought things were “book” instead of “cool,” or said things like “go coal yourself” to an ex.

You may have even mis-texted your love for someone with the phrase, “I loft you.” But in the case of the new Alta Lofts development in downtown Phoenix, your love and your loft are one in the same.

Located  at 3rd Street and Fillmore, this Mark Taylor rental building looks and feels like something straight outta New York or San Fran. Think 10-foot, exposed concrete ceilings and walls, sleek hardware, art niches, and gallery-style display spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large balconies come with some units. On others, balconies wrap around a central courtyard with a heated spa and pool. There’s a 24-hour fitness center, yoga and meditation studio, private clubhouse with entertaining kitchen, and media lounge.

Sizes range 800 to 3,000 sq. ft., from 1 bed/1 bath to 2 bed/2.5 bath. Rents from about $700 to $3,000. And everyone gets a parking space. Go online to see current promos, layouts, and photos.
