Builder & Development Story

Builder Story

As you would expect, the principals involved in a project of this magnitude offer the comforting assurance of proven professional experience. The city’s finest high-rise luxury condominium brings together Lincor Properties of Arizona, based in Phoenix, and A. Akman & Son, Ltd. of Winnipeg, Canada.

Lincor represents the originating force behind Crystal Point and is responsible for the initial property acquisition and creation of the impressive development team. Akman brings to Crystal Point extensive experience in high rise luxury residences.

Along with a natural blending of capabilities, the two firms share a mutual dedication to excellence. Lincor is a fully-diversified development organization known throughout the Valley for its commitment to high quality standards. Good design, efficiency and the creation of a total environment are paramount in every project that bears the Lincor name.

You’ll see this dedication in quality, award-winning buildings like One Columbus Plaza in Phoenix and other outstanding properties in major growth areas such as Denver, Dallas, Winnipeg and Toronto. Lincor is headed by Jim Kiely…a familiar name in Phoenix business circles known for his active involvement in numerous civic and cultural endeavors.

For more than 75 years, Akman has been a highly-visible developer and builder of residential and commercial properties throughout Western Canada. During the 1980’s, Akman has become a leader in the creation of luxury condominium projects with a primary focus in the metropolitan Winnipeg area.

The Akman management team represents a third generation of family leadership for this highly-respected Canadian firm which has developed projects worth over $125 million.

Crystal Point combines the best of two worlds for this milestone event in Phoenix history.
