A view of 1000 South Michigan from above. Nice to see the angles at play on the south facing wall from this vantage point.

The base looks way better from the sky.

Good thing we have helicopter tours now so at least a few hundred people a year can see it from that angle...

I don't know why they insist on having such an awkward looking podium. Other than that the building looks alright.

Not as bold or cool as the initial design, but Ill take it anyway. You have to expect any decent proposal to get VE'd in this city in this day and age. Sorry.

Oh that's a good one

Truck · #**529** Posted **Dec 25, 2016, 7:51 PM**

Yeah it hides the design.

Anyone want to hazard a guess on the odds of this getting started in 2017, less/more than 50%? I honestly have no idea how robust the condo market is and I'm not sure anyone does. The employment rate + stock market + fed rate increase suggests that the economy is stronger than in nearly a decade (at least for those at the top) but banks and buyers are still spooked to go near condos.

I'm definitely in for a 2017 start. While there are some other noteworthy condo projects coming on line (Vista), it's still nothing compared to the prior boom.

Plus, I think the market for luxury condos with good (and forever safe) views will be quite deep. Prices have been on the upswing.

I'm sure it's been said before but havn't been to this page in awhile. What's the condo to apartment ratio on this one?

I also think that once there is at least one new anchor building in this (relatively) sparse patch of Mich that buyers will find it more desirable. Like if Essex were up already 1000 would be a sexier sell.

1:1. 100 percent condos. 100 percent apartments.

The problem with it starting in 2017 is that they haven't even started marketing for condos and don't have a sales center. I'd say this is lucky to even start this cycle. I say this assuming it's condos

TimeAgain · #**538** Posted **Dec 31, 2016, 4:45 AM**

I would so love this to start in 2017, but it seems in flux. Hope I'm wrong, though.

Why wait until 2018? The market is strong right now but it might not last much longer than a year. Wouldn't it make sense to build Jahn's tower sometime this year?

Because it's my understanding that it'll be condo and with condo buildings developers normally need a number of pre-sales before landing financing.
