Different data point since we don't exactly have info on any current offers. What happens if it actually sells for 750? Have seen similar units in Metropolis and Spire list for over 800k. 10 extra stories of height and some serious balcony space probably can command some premium.

If we see it go for 1.5 w/ a bunch of bidders we may need to consider shorting the market but unless it sells it's still speculation.

See my earlier link for how bad speculators were in Twelve Atlantic Station. They were trying to get 30-40% premiums in a 1-2yr span while their view was blocked out by the Atlantic.

Thanks. I read about the poor sap who lost his skyline view. I felt bad for him.

This may not bode well for Midtown:

Midtown, once a hipster haven, is getting gentrified by Manhattan transplants and Pace Academy kids who want to stick it to their Buckhead parents.

They'll price the hipsters and ordinary people out of the market.

Since when was Midtown ever a "hipster haven"? Midtown isn't O4W or EAV, it's never been a hipster area.

Maybe 35+ years ago when it was a "hippie haven," but that Midtown was gone long before the high rises came in.

I'm more concerned about all those Pace Academy kids.

They roll in with their giant bank accounts and drive prices through the roof, but are they really interested in walkable, urban communities or just sticking it in the old man's ear?

Really? I have never received a $40 to $50 power bill. Maybe there are too many electronics draining power during the day.

That's the one on West Paces? Yeah, that's going to suck for me if I decide to buy in that area. Are there benefits to turning into a life long renter?
