Westin at Towncenter Progress

[urbanvb]

Amazing. Funny thing is one time I was having doubts of the Westin being able to fill this tower but definitely no more. A forty storey building would be great though! Another thought, the penthouses are priced up to 1.2 million dollars. I would have thought they would be the last to be filled.

The penthouses in Granby were 2 million, and they also were the first to go.

Can you imagine paying taxes on those bad boys! I thought the penthouses in the Westin were 4 million

[urbanvb]

I don't think so.. but I am having trouble finding the original Pilot article.

They might not have the article up anymore.

[vdogg]

I know where it is. Hold on and I'll link to it.

[vdogg]

Here you go. Original Westin article. This is probably the quote you're looking for "The condos, which will include two levels of penthouses, will sell for $400,000 to $2 million. They will cater to buyers who want the concierge service and amenities of a hotel, such as a pool and health club."

man i thought i read 4 million some where!

You know what that mega millions sounds nice about now! I could be living in the Granby Tower and the Westin!

[vdogg]

You probably transposed the 4 and the 2.

[rusthebuss]

I don't know why i do that all the time, just like the height for the HH. I said 276, when it was 267

I'm saying for 4 million dollars I better have 2 floors to myself and a private helipad.

No kidding but a helipad would be hard to put on the top of the Westin!

[urbanvb]

At any rate $2mil dollars is not hardly chunk change for most folks.

Really 2 million isn't much anymore like it was 20 years ago.

And people question the validity of the Hampton Roads housing market... the building isn't even done with its foundation and less than 1/4 the total units are left. This is AWESOME and bodes well for City Walk and Town Square.

I'm really glad to see that we can sell these condos this quickly and hope that it continues!

I think what people question is if locals are buying them or if outsiders are buying them up to flip them later on. The reason people question this is they look at the wage to house price ratio and see the wage part is lower than what it should be. Also no new high paying jobs have really been announced in this region. Just more blue collar jobs.

Hmm, is there the possibility of a couple more floors being added?

I doubt it this far in the game. It could set the project back almost around 6 months I would expect.

I asked this same question when I spoke with the builders recently and was told there was no future plans to make the tower taller. Too bad though.

Once piles are starting to be driven you can pretty much count out any plans on going higher because doing so would entail possibly adding piles which in turn would possibly change the layout of the piles which is impossible if the piles are already being driven.

Yup, good point. The foundation is everything and must be perfect.

Thats what I figured. I should have stated that but didn't go that far in detail! Thanks

This may have to deal with totally different construction techniques, but I do know when they were creating the CN Tower in Toronto while under construction they decided make it a couple hundred feet taller.
