Deco had also just previously finished building Envy in Scottsdale prior to building Edison and it's a damn shame that the developers thought that Midtown Phoenix could not have the same quality midrise condo that Scottsdale received. One Lexington is right next door has no issue selling units when they become available at nearly twice the price as Edison. Edison should have been built as a higher quality development.
I can see it most likely being converted to rentals down the road as it ages.
This is a plus.

Agreed. I've lived in both apartments and condominiums with wood frames, and while I'd rent wood again, I wouldn't own it. In a rental, if noisy neighbors prove too much of a burden, I can move. With a condo, the only option is an awkward negotation with neighbors, who may not always be cooperative. Portland on the Park really sets the standard for how high-rise condominiums should be built.
