There are ads for it on the radio now...construction will start this summer...I would not expect to hear much about it until then...the calm before the storm if you will.

On a side note, at the Courtside site they have begun drilling holes in the ground...maybe they are doing soil testing on the site...

Did anyone see the article in Sunday's Observer about demand for urban condos? I missed it, but heard it was good...

[uptownliving]

New England...I thought you were an "insider."

I heard a commercial for The Park Condos while I was in my car headed to lunch today. Just thought I'd pass that information along. 8-)

[Nostyle]

No Way!!!

[Southend]

i also heard that they are about 90% sold (i think a doug smith article)..

So, any updates Mr. Uptown?

[uptownliving]

No...construction has yet to start...no news till then.

[Richhamleigh, DC]

I just tried to make a deposit and was told that the units I was interested in were sold out.

How quickly can Wachovia or others get their projects rolling?!?!?!?

[uptownliving]

atlvr...your fav condo project The Park Condos finally got permit approval...expect to see cranes there in the near future.

[BryanH]

that's awesome. how did you find out that it got approved?? i hope construction starts ASAP.

[Norm2]

YAY! YAY! The Park can finally get off the ground! I was thinking it probably would considering how much personal investment the developer put into it. PLus the parking deck has that awning outside saying "The Park" on it. why the hell would you have that there if you werent serious about getting this thing off of the ground? Also, when do you think the cranes will go up? March or April?

[atlrvr]

hopefully i will be one of the first people to get to flush a toilet in such a state of the art building.....just kidding....I'm glad that he got it worked out because i think it's a fairly attractive building and it pulls some momentum towards 2nd ward.....plus i agree.....i would have felt bad for verna if it all turned out to be for naught

huh?

[atlrvr]

there is a reason that 230 S. Tryon sold out so quickly........in car sales they call it the bait and switch........

oh, so you are just saying that buyers fled the park to go to 230 s tryon?

It almost sounded like you were saying u/l was doing something.

[atlrvr]

well......with some assistance of the listing firm that represents both properties......i think if i was verna or his original contracts and he does get this thing off the ground that there would be hell to pay....

[uptownliving]

I am just an innocent bystander in all of this...I only own one property downtown...the one I live in.

[Neo]

I'm glad to hear that The Park finally got approved. It was the first major condo announcement for downtown and there is already developments ahead of it....Courtside. Can't wait to see the cranes! It will help that area of DT tremendously IMO.

[skysdalimit]

Yay, finally, it's about time they got this project going again.

[dubone]

To be clear, is there anything at this point that can stop this project?
