2. you have to understand that people actually have to live in these condos they buy. And when that happens, people revert to the old adage - location, location, location.
When push comes to shove, design takes a backseat to a host of other characteristics, most notably the location. And, while 24th and Walnut is a fine location, its cetainly no 17th and Locust. Also, 1706 has a sales office, Mandeville does not.

I agree. Proximity to Rittenhouse Square means a lot at the top of the market. And, yes, Philly has plenty of these buyers. Look at the number of multimillion dollars sales in Rittenhouse Square, Society Hill, and Gladwyne.
