Livin' and livin' well

There's a difference in livin' and livin' well, sang George Strait, and at The Plaza Lofts, the community focus is on livin' well. That's why we offer monthly happy hours for residents (don't forget mojitos in loft 437 and live music and more at Barcelona on May 21) and discount cards for significant savings at Kierland shops and restaurants.

Why did The Plaza Lofts resident cross the road?

To get to The Westin Kierland.

Living at the Lofts also saves you money across the street. Signing up for The Westin's restaurant discount program is as easy as calling 480-624-1289. The sooner you make the call, the sooner you'll save on fine food at Deseo and other resort gems. Questions about this special offer? Please contact your Plaza Lofts concierge, Kelli.

May: A month for mothers and mojitos

Third Thursdays on May 21

Some residents have voiced a desire to start the monthly happy hour a little later, and their voices have been heard! From now on, Third Thursdays happy hour will go from 6 to 8 p.m. This month, we will meet in Loft 437 and on the adjacent tower recreation deck. The featured drink will be the mojito, and appetizers will be on hand for noshing. Also, a limited stock of wine and beer will be available for those whose tastes tend toward the tried and true. Please RSVP to amanda@olsoncomm.com.

Third Thursdays After-Party @ Barcelona
Why did the Plaza Lofts residents cross the road? ... To get to Barcelona! May 21's Third Thursdays will feature an encore: Barcelona has invited residents to a post-happy-hour outing in its newly renovated digs. The "field trip" – which will begin immediately after our gathering, between 8 and 8:30 – will include a tour of the renovated facility and a cover-charge-free evening with a special reserved area for residents, a great offering given that the Zowie Bowie band of Vegas fame will be making its monthly appearance to fill this hotspot with energy and live music. All residents are invited, and guests are welcome. RSVP required. RSVP to amanda@olsoncomm.com.

Progressive Dinner Teaser

We are currently working to organize a progressive dinner for residents of The Plaza Lofts during the month of June. Like a pub crawl, this "loft crawl" will take you inside the dwellings of select residents who have graciously volunteered to open their homes and host you for a featured drink and appetizer selection. Details coming soon!
