Ok, so this building has to be basically complete the exterior looks finished, and all painted. When are folks moving in?

[Florida]

I saw lights on inside the building from ym apartment last night. Looks like someone is moving furniture in.

[TD]

so it should beopen within a month?

[Florida]

Yeah. That sounds about right. I'm very excited to see who will be occupying its retail space.

Tennyson Update

Here's a photo update for The Tennyson Condominiums. As we've discussed, there are people living inside, but the building itself is not yet complete.

Today I had the privledge to speak to Mr. Antonie Wright, a representitive of Granger Properties who informed me that they are tying up a few loose ends with regard to the retail and restaurant component and that Ruth's Chris may still be an option for this site.

Here are some pictures:

One of the best views of her.... I love the plaza tower billboard too (for those of you not in tally, these billboards are everywhere around DT and the NE)

I finally am seeing some signs of life in the tennyson... 3 porch lights were on last night and a car pulled out in front of me from the tennyson garage.

Yes there is and a similar situation happened to me last week! But my scenario was an SUV traveling south on Monroe that turn left in front of me (I'm traveling north on Monroe) to enter the parking garage of the Tennyson. It was an "urban" moment for me! LOL!

[Florida]

Did I tell you all that I spoke to someone at the Tennyson last week about the Ruth's Chris rumor and they more or less confirmed that the Tennyson Developer's (Granger) has been talking to the company about leasing its restaurant space on the ground floor. There is a good chance the restaurant will end up here since the Tennyson is now open for business.

Thanks for sharing that update, TJ...Yum!

[Florida]

I've also been in talks with someone at the Tennyson to try to get some pictures of the inside of the building. I'm trying to set up an appointment that will allow me to get some interior shots from a floor high enough with a view. As soon as I can take the pictures, they'll be up.

Does fanyone know the latest on ground floor retail? The Tennyson website has an image that can be enlarged containing the names of the ground level stores, but when i attempt to do so it gives me an error message. Maybe someone else will have better luck

[Florida]

That link has been broken for some time now. No word on whats going into the retail.

Humzai,

What about your tour at the Tennyson, did you not like? What did you like?

[humzai]

It is a nicely built, understated building and interior. It looks quite nice but I have a taste for eccentric floor plans and you don't really get that in condos. The asssociation fees are pretty rediculous too 394 a month for the 1289 sq ft. unit that I saw.

wait, its only 394 a month?? for a 2 bedroom condo?? That's too much??? I wish rents were that low here.

[humzai]

No 394 a month for association fees after buying the place for $354,000.

keeping a nice shiney new place shiney isn't cheap i guess...

WHEN is the retail going in???

Here are some pictures of The Tennyson I took on August 21, 2006. Some were taken from the observation deck of the capitol and some were taken at street level:

This particular one was taken through my open sunroof as I sat in traffic temporarily in front of the building:

Great pictures. I'm very proud of the work they did on this project. It has quickly become an asset to Downtown Tallahassee.

The skinny beautiful building in the third picture, what is it? I think it is the best looking mid rise in town.
