Steve, ZOM pays a Realtor, like me, a commission to bring them tenants. Alot of us advertise on Craigslist and other websites for potential renters. Alot of the advertisements have old rent prices as agents sometimes do not update to the new prices, which sometimes increase Daily, as they rent them out. I hope that clarifies how the Biz works alittle. It also does not Cost the potential renters any more when they use a Realtor and their knowledge to find the best deals for them.

Ok, went by 55W this morning and Sam toured me really quick through Two Loft models (The Gramercy and Tribeca) starting at $1008 available for move-ins Sept 1st and a Two bedroom (Eola) at $1800 with move-ins Oct 1st on the 22nd floor. I was very impressed with the finishes, nice granite in the two bedroom model with a Huge counter overlooking the open living and dining area, corner unit with great NE view. The master bedroom had a King size bed with plenty of room and split bedroom plan. Nice granite computer desk in the kitchen too. The first corner loft was nice on the 4th floor overlooking Church St, Lots of floor to ceiling glass in all the units and Huge balconies compared to the other condos in other buildings around DT. I was lucky that a train was going by and I heard it in the hallway however, once I got inside the unit I heard really nothing. The elevators were flawless, nicely finished and very smooth and FAST. We did not get a chance to go to the fitness center or pool yet as we both had appointments soon. Here are some pics I snapped real quick. http://s275.photobucket.com/albums/jj295/DowntownDarryl/ I just noticed the last pics are from The Vue and My Penthouse listing in Solaire, no time to edit.

I'll see what I can do...

Publix is going to be in the ground level at The Paramount on Lake Eola, 400 E Central Blvd.

Anyone else see the quote from Cameron Kuhn in the OBJ that AMC will be open by January 25th?

Wow, I will definitely miss your posts OrlandoNative. You always gave me alot of education as far as the construction aspects. Good Luck in Atlanta!

One of the Studios I sold has its walk-through 10/24, closing 10/31 and Move-In 11/14. Its one of them right above the front Lobby doors with the Huge outdoor living area.

Now, I am not trying to plug myself and its just a personal market observation however, I have noticed a definate increase in sales at Solaire in the past month or so. More buyers have contacted me recently and I have closed on 3 condos since Solaire opened Feb 2007 with one more in pending from a contract i wrote on Labor Day. Most buyers are interested in one bedroom units compared to two bedroom units. They feel the two bedroom units are still overpriced at the current asking prices. ie: 390k range. I wish I could let them know the actual opening date of the cinema as that would be a definate plus.

If you haven't yet, go to www.projecthometown.com and click on "how can I help". Send an email to Mayor Crotty and all of the County commissioners in support of the Downtown Venues. then tell everyone you know to do the same before Thursday.

Went up to Stirling Sotheby's new digs in the North Tower yesterday, in between showings at Solaire. The place is coming together nicely. Plasma's everywhere, coffee/Latte'/Wine Bar on the west side overlooking orange ave with a great 16th floor view, the deck facing solaire was very impressive and large with a perfect downtown view towards lake eola.

http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories...70&hbx=e_du Separately, Highwoods acquired 0.8 acres of development land adjacent to Eola Park Centre for $2 million that is entitled for the development of an office building of up to 224,000 square feet. From what I can see its the lot to the East (224 E Robinson) of the existing building, not to the south, I was scared for The Vue for a second.
