240 Ionia - New Development

[MAU]

Took a quick look through the thread and didn't see it... Not too much info, kind of a cheesy website but..

(sorry if it's already been posted, carry on...)

I can see it too, it's already the strip downtown with the entertainment. I think this is great.

I think you are being too kind. Riverhouse's website is also bad. For all the money put in these developments, you'd think they would have a hip site. Click on any of the Condo Google Ads above and you'll see some slick selling.

Plus the renderings do more for the imagination and pocket book then some website. I won't knock the importance of a website, but I don't think its the center piece if you have a good product. This place looks really awesome. All a person really sold on the idea needs to know is the contact name and number and off they go.

Although, I did get turned off by the: color scheme, the use of frames, and the use of "Coming soon" to important sections such as floor plans.

Is there anything going on in the building on the corner of Fulton and Ionia (opposite 48 West)?

[Grandrapidsne]

back on topic, i think this is defeintly stealing tall house's thunder so to speak. Is there ground flor slated to be in this project? The reason i liked tall house so much was because it incorporated that into the project. Both projects are very nice but if i had to pick between one or the other this one wins hands down love the website also

That web site is straight out of 1996. A simple site is fine, but it doesn't take too much effort (or money) to make a simple site look attractive. I'm betting somebody on the project has a brother that once made a web page back in high school and hired him for this.

More fun with etch-a-sketch. Imagining Area 4/5, 240 Ionia and Tall House inserted. I may have the heights a bit off, but they're probably close.

240 would look great at that height! Tall House has nice height too. I hope they both get built along with Area 4 and 5

[Allison Slater]

Move the S-Curve south in about 40 years or whatever so that the park stretches to the river, and that will be THE place to be.

Just tear it out without replacing it.

[snoogit]

That Highway was built to last 100 years, although you might hate it, its not going anywhere.

Still moving along, looking to start in the fall... article from GRBJ

[joeDowntown]

For those of us who don't subscribe, did they list how many units were sold?

[GRDadof3]

No, it doesn't say, but they are "very positive".

FYI to 240 Ionia people, there are many condos downtown available for under $300K.

I do agree that the price point per square foot on a lot of downtown projects is too high.

[Grandrapidsne]

Got an email from one of the sales people and they seem to be loooking at breaking ground in the fall of this year .

I heard after the Parade they were at 24 reservations. It seems like Tall House is about the same which is surprising since they've been taking reservations long before 240-Ionia! I really hope this is a go. The floor to ceiling walls/windows really excites me. Where else can u get that downtown in a great price point? This is a Brownfield site right? What does that do for the buyers if anything? Could it be a reduced mortgage interest rate? I know someone who is number 9 on the reserve list and I'm thinking of getting the reservation.

Just looked at the website again, they finally have floorplans available for download. The work/live spaces seem pretty cool, I imagine the cost is pretty high though. Anyone know what the rooms on the balconies are? Storage? Grilling? can't figure it out.
