They are all amenities of the beautiful Chateau On Central brownstone residences.

And they only scratch the surface.

Described as a “castle in the middle of an urban environment,” the Chateau On Central in downtown Phoenix combines a gorgeous five level brick residence with all the convenient and exciting perks the city has to offer.

The brownstones range from 5,200 to 8,200 square feet, and residents are given a choice of six floor plans to best fit their needs. The properties come complete with a wine cellar or basement, and each brownstone is zoned for mixed-use so that residents are able to run businesses out of their homes. In addition, the Chateau is just minutes from art galleries, shops, museums, and incredible restaurants.

The Chateau On Central offers an elegant and opulent Old World feel with all the benefits of metropolitan living. For more information, visit www.ChateauOnCentral.com.

Inspired by downtown Phoenix’s historic Victorian style Rosson House, the Chateau On Central brings an East Coast alternative to Arizona – at a fraction of the cost.

Coupling beautiful brick with wrought iron detailing, the Chateau reigns as a one-of-a-kind brownstone community alongside urban buildings and streets. With 21 five-level homes available, the Chateau is nestled in the heart of Phoenix’s arts and culture district, allowing residents to become immersed in all that downtown Phoenix has to offer.

“Our first few buyers, as well as our prospective buyers of Chateau On Central, continually express that they’re eager to leave their high-maintenance estates for a lock-and-leave property that eliminates the need for excessive upkeep,” says Joe Morales, the community’s developer. “Chateau On Central offers the same exclusivity, name recognition and lavish amenities as estates without the burden of pool maintenance, landscaping or security issues.”

Residences range from 5,200 square-feet to 5,800 square- feet, along with an 8,200 square-foot signature residence. For more information, visit www.ChateauOnCentral.com.

Hand-in-hand with the luxurious brownstones of the Chateau On Central comes Est Est Inc., one of the premier interior design firms in all of Arizona. With marbled bathrooms, stainless steel fireplaces, and beautiful wood floors, each of the 21 residences is made to impress. That’s because every residence – each featuring five levels designed to perfectly suit every buyer’s needs – expertly blends an attractive modern style with the Chateau’s famous “Old World appeal.”

So it should come as no surprise that Est Est Inc.’s lavish work on the 5000-square-foot Chateau model home was awarded first place by the American Society of Interior Designs.

Says owner of Cambridge Properties, Keith Mishkin, “Creating a visual experience for each buyer is extremely important and weighs heavily on their decision to buy, just as much as price and neighborhood do. Buyers want to be able to walk through our model and get a true sense of what it will be like to live there.”

And buyers who see the model will certainly get just that. The Chateau’s deluxe models combined with the sleek elements of Est. Est. Inc.’s design are enough to charm anyone with a taste for high-end luxury.

Upon looking at the beautifully luxurious brick of the Chateau On Central, often described as an “urban mansion along a commercial street,” one would never guess that it wasn’t always the head-turner it is now.

With a past stricken by the nation’s turbulent housing collapse, the Chateau On Central once stood, roofless and bare, devoid of any real promise of a future. It’s a far cry from the newly renovated basements that now convert into wine cellars, and the roomy patios fit for a wave-jet pool.

Embarked upon in 2005, the Chateau began to rise for two solid years of construction, until it felt the sharp bite of the housing crisis. The original developer, Central PHX Partners, sought bankruptcy, and the Chateau fell into the committed hands of Mortgages Ltd.

The company began to refinance the project, and the Chateau’s future seemed once again bright, until the devastating death of owner Scott Coles. Construction was immediately halted.

It wasn’t until MSI West Investments – a subsidiary of a food products company Main Street Ingredients, who had never before dabbled in real estate – stepped in that the Chateau had, yet again, a chance.

And this one proved to be the real deal.

After spending $7 million to retrieve the property from its previous state of liquidation, CEO Dave Clark began to clean it back up again.
Broker Joe Morales then signed up to market the property, bringing with him deluxe Viking appliances and a goal of selling to a pool made up of executives, owners of law firms, and professional ball players.

Some might say that it may be difficult to find people who want to live downtown and pay the Chateau’s high cost of living.
But as the confident Morales says, “The unique niche that we fill is somebody looking for a luxury lifestyle, size, and a central corridor location with low maintenance.”
