Two Tower Condo Project on 5th Ave- Officially Postponed!

Categories: Blogroll, Commercial Space, Downtown, Midtown, New Construction

Multi Capital Group is delaying construction on their two-tower development right across from the Westin known as Pagoda and Heron towers.

The plan was to build 400 condos, a 200-room hotel and 312,000 square feet of commercial space (office and retail) but due the current market/economic conditions and the lack of financing for the project, they have decided to postpone.

For how long?  Alex Carlin, the senior project manager says “We’re still trying to decide when is the best time to move forward,” with the prediction that in 2011/2012 there will be a shortage of condos in the downtown area.  Click here to read more!

Escala Price Increases- Coming Next Week!

Categories: Blogroll, Condominiums, Escala, Midtown, New Construction

If you are still thinking of purchasing at the Escala, this week may be the best opportunity to commit…  

Rumor has it (from a VERY creditable source- wink, wink) that next week prices are going to be increased anywhere from $15k-$30k per home depending on the size and floor.  

Great way to earn instant equity!  The building is still on schedule for a May 2009 completion date and you can find out more details and information on the Escala website.
