On Saturday morning, November 17th, we toured Downtown Tempe Luxury Condos as a group of investors from The Walsh Team's Millionaire Real Estate Investor (MREI) seminars.

We first toured the Bridgeview at Hayden Ferry Lakeside complex on the south shore of Tempe Town Lake.  These condos are quite luxurious, with spacious and sophisticated one-bedrooms starting at just over $600,000, and three-bedrooms topping out at just over $1.5 million.  These units sport spectacular views of the lake, cityscapes, and Arizona State University.  This complex is next to the Suncor business center and a soon-to- be- built boutique hotel.  Just over 60 units remain, and move-in is scheduled for early 2008, right after the Superbowl.  So, if you have the means, the desire, and the need for absolute luxury, the Bridgeview complex is for you!

The second stop was the Lumina Tempe Stadium Project, by Constellation Property Group. This complex is designed by famed Australian architect Eugene Marchese‘s efficient, elegant, and almost minimalist style. Ultra-modern looks abound with every square foot of the complex, from the sleek pools and outdoor grounds, to the community spaces, to each spacious and classy unit. With the design techniques used, 700 square foot units seem to be more like 1000.  The price point for the one bedroom unit starts at $273,000, and they have a bond program that allows buyers to put a minimum down to reserve the units. The complex includes both condominium residences and luxurious "boutique-hotel" rooms, and has a definite cosmopolitan, jet-set, younger feel to it. Right across the street from new Light Rail station and Sun Devil stadium, it is sure to be popular with alumni and students' parents.

Centerpoint Condominiums was our final stop. Their sales center presents a complete lifestyle, with gourmet chefs, recreation, a ground floor deli, coffee shops, and even it's own winery.  This complex is all about lifestyle and taste. The studios and one bedroom units are in the $300-500k range, while the 2 bedroom start at $600k, and the 3 bedroom units are in the low $1 millions. They offer a lease back program, for the first 2 years for certain units. The views are spectacular and the first tower will have owners moving in by April/ May 2008.
