Nothing new to report on my end, but I have finally seen the banner for the
1221 Broadway in front of the construction site itself. I like the double-decker breezeway connecting one building to the other. I'm very impressed with the progress that is being made. It's also great that they have a head start with the frame of the building already up. I believe that one of the reasons for them adding more units to the 1221 is because Mayor Castro has finally made official that there WILL be a grocery store built downtown. They say it doesn't make financial sense, but I think it does!
They say if you build it, they will come. Well, I believe that if you build not a generic building, but a beautiful and well-constructed one, that even more will come, and not only come, but also stay. A good example of this, is The Vistana Apartments, which is I am happy to say is practically 100% leased. The proof is in the putting! The 1221 will definitely rank in the same category as The Vistana Apartments.
Even I might consider moving into the 1221!
