Tribune loft sale prices?

Seems like anything less than 200 per sq ft for downtown would be a good deal, but people who are going to pay are spending extra money on lifestyle, and they're gonna want to get their money's worth.

As in YMCA? Why would that be a factor that would make downtown better to live in?

There's a transient "hotel" in the current Y. And the Y isn't leaving downtown, they are pursuing a new facility that will not include housing.

I assume the building housing the Y is coming down?

I don't know what the plans are for the current building, maybe a member of the downtown Y has some more information?

Anyone?

127 a sq ft in Philtower is a DEAL.  You are going to get the best view in Tulsa.

I think the 127 quote referred to a 700sqft unit at the Tribune - unfinished.

--but I would agree, 127 at Philtower would be a steal (if only it were true).  

*sigh*

The 127 was indeed at the Tribune.  But it's a finished apartment.  Just not upgraded.  (Actually, I think the standard finish price might start a little lower than the $127 per square foot I posted earlier)

Last I heard they had at least one of the units with a contract. The penthouse, I think. I'll do some asking and see if I can get a full price layout if anyone is interested.

My company does work for theirs so I talk to ARG's employees daily.

Found a price list.  

Least Expensive:
$95,000 (not upgraded) - 673sqft = $141.16

Most Expensive:
$315,000 (not upgraded) - 1892sqft = $166.49

when we looked a few weeks ago, none were under contract... the upgrade was really the only way to go...

I think TulsaNow membership should buy the cheap one. If each of us 2,000 members would chip in five bucks, we could do it and have a little left over for some folding chairs, a poker table and a fondue set or two.

According to their tribunelofts.com, there are none of the 673 sq. ft. models "available."  I had presumed that the "from $95,000" price they were advertising was for floor plans actually available for sale, the smallest of which is 863 sq. ft.  Strikes me as quite dishonest to advertise a price for a product that is not available.  Deceptive Trade Practices Act anyone?

That's strange, because they are all still vacant, and until last week they were still attempting to get financing for the conversions.  None have been converted yet, so perhaps they are not going to make them available until they have been converted?  Donno?

I looked at the Tribune Lofts website this morning.  I found information on rental rates, but not purchases prices.  There is a contact listed for those interested in purchasing units.  Scroll to the bottom of their Availability page.

For the love of god people, you're all on the Internet!  No need to speculate about the prices of NY realestate, just go look it up.

http://www.trulia.com/NY/New_York/

After a quick look, I can say with confidence that you are extremely unlikely to find anything for $400 sq/ft in NYC.  The AVERAGE price in the city is $1,347 per Sq. Foot in the last QT of 2007 (read: after drop).  If you want to get off the beaten path you can get a 1bd 1 bath in E. Harlem for a lowly $665 a foot.   Or if you want to spend $6000 per foot, we can take care of that easily enough too.  

Artist, the hell with Utica - I'm buying you one of these:

as of three weeks ago, one unit was vacant and available for rental...

all of the units, even the occupied ones, were available for purchase...

the tenants had been put on notice that the units were being shown and they'd be placed under contract "for purchase" to whom ever provided a deposit first... as of three weeks ago, none of the renters had opted to convert to owners...

the financing for the conversion is pending the successful contracting for purchase of a predetermined number of the units...


at that time, the philtower had one smaller unit available for immediate rental... they have many contracts coming up in the next six months, as can be seen on their website...
