Well since u said AROUND 20%-25%...that means tht you dont have solid numbers either....so my guess is just as good as yours.

And like I said, it doesn't make sense. Dallas does not have a market for the high priced (and small) condo units in the Museum Tower. Plus, sales are horrible. They're building the tower from funds out of the Policeman and Fireman Retirement Fund. Why couldn't they wait? Haven't they learned from Victory Park's failure?

I agree that the market is heavily saturated. I wonder how real this is.

Grow up. It's the truth. Dallas does not have the market for condos, in small square footage, too, starting from one million. Downtown Dallas is making strides, but this isn't Manhattan or LA. I wonder how much they will lower their prices.

It was a joke, I totally agree to everything.
