Before June 2008, the first floor of the Arizona Cancer Center&#8217;s Leon Levy Building looked like a typical outdated doctor&#8217;s office waiting room: white walls, furniture bathed in muted earth tones, a few plants scattered throughout, not too many amenities and beige, lots and lots of beige.
So when it came time to renovate the space, [...]]]></description>

Most people might think Phoenix doesn&#8217;t have much history. Sure, it&#8217;s a young city, but there are plenty of historical structures worthy of mention. Just be sure to brush the dust off first.
Before its renaissance, a 1947 ranch-style home in Phoenix was unremarkable and, because of the steady to intermittent flow of traffic down Missouri [...]]]></description>

There is an old adage that one cannot fit a square peg into a round hole, but for Mark and Stacey Kranz, their professional careers as an architect and an interior designer lent the knowledge to make it work for their outdated, inefficient Phoenix &#8220;Gingerbread House&#8221;.
With a growing family and a steady stream of family [...]]]></description>

Just few years ago, Matix Development came to Phoenix looking to ride the wave of the real estate boom, while making modern luxury attainable for the working class. Wanting to renovate rather than build new, the Chicago-based developer selected the Villa Vallejo apartment complex at 18th street and Maryland as the future site of their [...]]]></description>

Like any fine monument or trendy celebrity, The Clarendon Hotel in central Phoenix has found numerous ways to reinvent itself throughout the decades. From its swank status in the 1970s, to moving past its notorious murder later that decade into a hip destination in the early 1980s, to chain ownership and escaping low-class clientele, the [...]]]></description>

Chris and Becky Nieto&#8217;s home is a maverick among its historic counterparts.
From a streetside view the 1924 Craftsman-style bungalow located in Phoenix&#8217;s Ashland Place Historic District and the remaining architectural styles of the area—Mission/Spanish Revival and Tudor Revival—appear well-preserved, impervious to change.
But wander to the side entrance of the house and, once inside, you are [...]]]></description>

For Louie Moses and Jos Anshell, the location couldn&#8217;t have been better: a ninth-floor penthouse on Central Avenue with a million-dollar view of the sprawling downtown area.
They spent nearly two decades atop the Security Bank Building, developing an advertising and marketing business that quickly became a national player with clients like Nintendo, the Arizona Office [...]]]></description>
