The office agents keep saying they don't know when the 2nd phase will be released, but word on the streets among the outside agents is that it's set for some time in September.
This may be a bit of a stupid question, but is it possible that some developer might try to squeeze in another tower behind the KWL condos? I think about this every time I see the Tip Top Tailor lofts and think about how angry those "lakefront view" owners must be feeling.
Just received some more GREAT news...
I just checked my mail today and got another letter from Plazacorp. They have extended the cut off date a second time to November 25th. The last paragraph however states:
The generally improving economic conditions since the spring have resulted in strong sales at our King West Liberty Village project. We expect the conditions of our Agreement of Purchase and Sale will be satisfied or waived in the usual course within the timeframe specified in the Agreement. We will be in contact with you once again in November,2009, regarding our transaction.
Any thoughts on this? Is it normal for buildings to extend dates like this? Sounds like trouble to me.
I definitely dont think they will sell enough before February to meet requirements for financing.
You dont know that... Thats still 6 months from now, lets wait and see.
haha of course i dont KNOW thats why i used the word THINK!
But look at it from a common sense approach. They are about 25-30% sold and having been selling for 1 to 1.5 years. My understanding that sales during the spring / summer months are the highest so we are basically at peak and as we move into the colder / winter months sales will go down. Doesnt seem feasible for them to sell another ~40% in 6 months....
The winter months are for sure going to slow down... but the next 3 months, as long as the release some new units they shoudl be able to sell a bunch. Im in the area almost every day and during times they are open weekdays and the weekends I always see lots of people going in and out. But like i said most of the good units are gone. they need to push out phase 2 and offer some more selection ASAP
I agree. They need to start selling phase 2, but if they release it before selling nearly all the remaining phase 1 suites then nobody will want to buy the 'leftovers' from phase 1.
dc01231, i didnt quite get your message regarding the letter, your started off by saying 'Great news' then ended on a negative
What exactly was the message saying!
Sorry I thought was pretty clear... SARCASM!!! Theres never any good news when you receive a letter from a builder! Sorry bout the confusion!
No problem. Perhaps I was the only one confused! I thought it was sarcasm but the letter from the builder indicated good sales etc which confused me...
Any thoughts on this? Is it normal for buildings to extend dates like this? Sounds like trouble to me.
This suggest KWL Tower 1 is moving forward ... that's good news for purchasers in this project ~
