Lynn, Massachusetts. The old NET&T building. It was a restoration that replaced limestone with precast.

I'll admit, not bad.

However, I've yet to see something done that well here and I don't hold high hope just because of the scale of the project. We well see.

This is why you hire RAMSA when you are cautiously optimistic about the condo market. $$$$

220 cps one third of condos sold in 6 weeks

Quote:

... In just six weeks – and without a full marketing center – the REIT has commitments for over $1.1 billion from buyers, “representing over one third of the building,” CEO Steve Roth said during a first-quarter earnings call.
Roth said a small sales gallery has been opened “to a limited audience” pending the completing of a marketing center. “What has been accomplished in five or six weeks has never been done before,” he said. “Acceptance by brokers and buyers has been extraordinary and unprecedented.”... the total sellout of the building is now $2.84 billion, up from the original figure of $2.4 billion...

^ No, that's why you build condo buildings in NYC when the market is more on fire than it has ever been in the history of the city. That building is not selling because it is RAMSA, that building is selling because you could literally build a poop castle with central park views right now and it would sell out in weeks.

One57 is about 3/4 full after 4 years of sales. 432 took 2 years to sell 1/2 of its units.

Yeah and the average sale price in 432 Park and One57 is just under $7000 which is roughly the same as the highest asking price in all of 220 CPS... It's not exactly shocking that there are more buyers at lower price points. Remember when Millennium Centre sold 95% of it's units in 2 days? That doesn't mean SCB is the most marketable architecture firm around.

Yes, that guy (aka = me; I can't remember why I didn't keep the same name on SSC

oh well). Anyway, the permit drawings are being issued as packages (foundation, exterior, interior, etc). I believe the permit will be issued within a month, according to my source.....assuming everything goes according to plan.

LouisVanDerWright · #**595** Posted **Jun 10, 2015, 10:31 PM**

Sweet, I welcome another 850' tower even if it is this one. Better than a vacant lot I guess, but, to all you developers out there reading this forum, I won't tolerate another one like this no matter how tall... Lol...

Zapatan · #**596** Posted **Jun 10, 2015, 10:33 PM**

Kinda reminds me of Silverstein's new 30 Park Place in NYC, I like it!

Good to finally see another 800+ building soon u/c. Supertalls to follow of course

You probably have outdated information:

"Vornado’s offering plan for 220 Central Park South was approved March 4, as The Real Deal first reported. Prices have gone up three times since then, and the total sellout of the building is now $2.84 billion, up from the original figure of $2.4 billion. While the offering plan’s least expensive condo was priced at just under $12 million, or just under $5,000 per square foot, sources said condos are trading for $7,000 per square foot."

Also it should be noted that the same company that did the panels for the NET&T building at the top of the page is doing the panels for Stern's 30 Park Place in NYC.
