Plaza Towers was one of the first developments in Iowa City to<br />
combine a robust mix of commercial tenants with upscale residential<br />
units, all in the center of Iowa City’s Pedestrian Mall.<br />
The building’s first six levels include a luxury hotel, conference<br />
center and banquet facility, restaurant, market and deli, center<br />
for holistic healing and massage therapy, a 6,000-square-foot roof<br />
terrace and a 24-hour health club. The Residences at Plaza Towers<br />
on the floors above serve up light-filled spaces, all with commanding<br />
views and generous private balconies. Tenants enter through a<br />
staffed lobby, with secure underground parking and resident-only<br />
elevator access also available.<br />
There are a few rental units in the building, but the vast majority<br />
are owner-occupied condos, said developer Marc Moen, of Moen<br />
Group. A 1,040-square-foot one bedroom unit is set to come on<br />
the market around $460,000, while a luxurious three-bedroom unit is<br />
currently listed at $1.36 million.<br />
