January started the year off strong for The Plaza Lofts at Kierland Commons - thanks in part to cocktails provided by Sportman's for the first Third Thursdays happy hour of 2010. But that's not all - both your community and one of your neighbors have received great media coverage.

To start, Plaza Lofts resident Gary Naumann was featured in the January 2010 edition of Az Business. To learn more about the great work Gary is doing for our state's existing and future entreprenuers through the ASU Spirit of Enterprise Center, visit the publication's online edition here.
