"Investors, like Brixton, are still attracted to the strong demand drivers in Phoenix, and this transaction represents the region's resilient economic appeal."

The four-story community's amenities include a two-story clubhouse and game room, resident library and music room, fitness center, resort-inspired pool area and a rooftop entertainment space. The property is located in the growing warehouse district in Downtown Phoenix.
