Prices will start at $500,000 and range in size from 800 to 2000 square feet. Construction is expected to begin in 2008 and with an estimated completion of 2012.

After ascending a construction elevator attached precariously to its side, I stepped onto the 22nd floor of 44 Monroe and was blown away. Not literally, of course! The views blew me away!  To the south were high-rises, the baseball stadium, and the huge Copper Square mural. To the north? Mountains, green historic districts, and Central Avenue high-rises. It was unexpectedly spectacular.  If you want to go with me next time, contact me at eva@urbanliving360.com or 480-232-9699 and I will arrange a hard-hat tour.
