A new residential development on Broadway is adding housing downtown, with Bedrock announcing Wednesday that pre-leasing is underway for a 42-unit apartment building.
The project at 1346 Broadway St., known as The Belle, includes studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging from 400 to nearly 1,000 square feet. Tenants are expected to begin moving in this summer, officials said.
Ground-floor retail space is also part of the redevelopment, which sits in the Paradise Valley district.
Bedrock officials said in a news release: “The Belle blends the charm of its 1920s heritage with a polished sophistication and a modern refined edge.”
Architect Kraemer Design Group restored the building while Pophouse handled the interior work.
The Beaux-Arts style property opened in 1926 as an office structure known as the Broadway Exchange Building. Updates to the building include apartment units with dark quartz countertops, emerald green cabinetry, pendant lighting and stainless steel appliances.
Residents will have access to a community lounge with kitchenette and private office space, bike storage, package room and a secure lobby, officials said.
According to the development’s website, rental rates start at $1,370 for a 400-square-foot studio, one-bathroom unit, $1,730 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit and $2,875 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit.
