About Tempe's Hayden Ferry High Rise Condominiums

Waterfront Condos at Hayden Ferry Lakeside on Tempe Town Lake

The first Hayden Ferry Lakeside waterfront condo tower was Edgewater with 40 units that sold out in 2006. It was rare to see a sale price less than$500K. Now a sale price over $500K would be equally surprising. Sold near the height of the real estate peak, prices are resetting through foreclosures and short sales, or the rare instance where the owner has enough equity and is willing to list at market value. A good example is a recently listed 1,650 sq.ft. 3rd floor bank owned condo that originally sold for $625,000 in June of 2006. It is now listed at $282,900, or 45% of the orginal sales price.

Awesome views of Tempe Town Lake

An important variable of any Edgewater condo will be the location within the building and view of Tempe Town Lake to the north of the development. The heated community pool and spa is situated to the east and located between Edgewater and its sister condo tower, Bridgeview, also developed by Suncor. Amenities include an on-site fitness center, community lounge and out door barbeque area. Floor plans feature units with 1 - 3 bedrooms and 1,138 sq.ft to over 3,000 sq.ft. Access to the building and elevators is restricted by key faubs

This urban living setting is complimented by the location on Rio Salado Parkway that offers great access to almost anything you want. ASU is just down the street, Mill Ave entertainment and dining is within walking distance and the airport is just minutes away.

I was a little surprised that SunCor decided to sell one of their two office towers at Hayden Ferry Lakeside to New York based Sumitomo corp. While some of the projects in and around the Mill Avenue District have been delayed, canceled or had different "financing issues" come up, the Hayden Ferry project is one that seems to have it all. Great location, great views, easy access to freeways, the airport and the upcoming light rail line etc.. The project is a wonderful mix of commercial and residential uses.

The commercial building that has been sold has a decent tenant in Smith Barney. Several other high profile tenants include KPMG, MetLife and the new corporate offices of Fidelity National Title. Fidelity decided to lease the entire 11th floor, leaving the posh 24th / Camelback location for this awesome area. Believe me, the management group at Fidelity knows a thing or two about real estate. The $92.5 million price tag is a lot of money but given the demand for the area, the growth and excitement surrounding the Mill Avenue District and the future developments that SunCor has talked about in the area, this might end up being a great deal for all involved. These "New Yorker's" are not exactly new to town. In fact, they recently sold out of the Phelps Dodge Tower in Phoenix prior to picking up this trophy property along the Tempe Town Lake. If you haven't seen these buildings, they are worth a look. The following pic is one I took in the lobby of the Hayden Ferry building. The lobby was designed with a really cool nautical theme where you feel like you are looking through the hull of a ship. :-)

Here, you can see the homes currently for sale at Hayden Ferry. These buildings are just East of the commercial buildings.

The lifestyle along Tempe Town lake and in and around the Mill Avenue District is changing drastically. This is a growing, vibrant community with excellent access to amenities..

To Live, work and play, our great city is hard to beat! Tempe is very centrally located with easy access to our freeway systems and to the airport. Here, you will find some amazing housing opportunities, a great arts community, wonderful restaurants, great schools, lot's of different jobs, enthusiastic sports fans and a wonderful lifestyle in an amazingly convenient location that is close to many of the things our great state has to offer.
