Anybody hearing that several of the buyers have pulled out due to the long wait? The rumor mill is swirling again. Wouldn’t surprise me though. I would go elsewhere if I were in their shoes. 

Honestly, I don’t think I’d want the headaches of owning a giant waterfall and car lift. Both will hit you with fees and upkeep outside of normal maintenance on any condo building. I think the site needs a new proposal.

Looks like a sixth unit (unit #401) has sold for $825,000.

^^ Great news. MAYBE, that will release the financing or whatever they need to start.

Someone figured out that it'd be cheaper to buy one of these units than hotel rooms at $400+ per night.

The website says breaking ground first quarter 2022. If that’s the case then they better get moving. If I was one of the original buyers I would have definitely bailed by now.

Looks like this project is officially dead. All of the for sale listings for the residential condos have been removed.

I thought you meant ALL the units were taken off Reator.com, which they should be if the project is truly dead.  You're right, it's just the ones that are/were under contract that were listed.

The remaining for sale units are still missing which tells me this project is definitely dead. I expect the site to go up for sale soon. Sad but not surprising. If it hasn’t started construction yet after being in the works for years it’s never going to. I’m sure the people who bought units here have already moved on also. I know I would have.

Welp…as usual I was wrong. Covid delayed the project but it is moving forward now. Triangle Construction is the general contractor. All of the permits needed to start construction have now been issued by the city so expect site work to start any day. Just waiting on the electrician from Triangle to give the green light. The developer is working with the utility companies to have the power lines in the alley way moved immediately for the tower crane placement. Six condo units are still under contract.

I’ll be honest, I had no idea how long this project had been trying to get off the ground. 2007? My god, yeah I’m hoping gman is right but then again I wouldn’t be totally surprised if it didn’t start.

Welp…guess I was lied to again.

Looks like permit were denied last year and required revisions. Haven't seen a new application.

Thanks. Not good but also not surprising. Any news on the project next to Grace Church? 

[gman430]

Still nothing. This site is depressing. 

[gman430]

A new year and still just as depressing as ever.

Yep 16 years and counting but still not as long as the doomed gateway site which is 25 years and counting. Wonder if there is some kind of an award for longest prime real estate parcel without being developed?

I got an email yesterday that stated that Triangle is still waiting on Duke to move the power lines in the alley before they can start construction. Yeesh.

[gman430]

Time for the developer to cut their losses and put the site up for sale. Pretty obvious this one is never getting built. 

[gman430]

The developer couldn’t get financing from what I hear. Not surprising.

This site is depressing. Tore down a historic building for this crap. Somebody should be sued over this.
