It is a full height loft with one “bedroom” and a bathroom. Nice little alcove for a desk. It sold brand new in November 2009 for $378,250… Read More

I visited Trio a few weeks ago (the same weekend I visited Gallery.) It was 75% sold and they want to move the rest of the units before the end of the year. To that end there is a 4% selling office commission instead of the usual 3%. I don’t have much nice to say… Read More

Here’s a timely question being asked of Elizabeth Rhodes in her Homes Forum blog, Developer’s discount price riles others: A few months ago I helped my son buy a condo in a small, newly refurbished building. He got it for about $10,000 off the asking price, and the developer paid his closing costs. A month… Read More

Wendy has a post about the Trio. How should we think about Trio? If Lumen is like a BCBG boutique, the Trio would be like a United Benetton – a bit more fun but probably not as high end. To its credit, the Trio does have a lot of color palettes and material combination options… Read More
