24th Floor Unit At Cosmopolitan Sold For $751,950 In 2007, Now $396,000

February 4, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

I know I’m flooding the blog with foreclosure sales over the last 24 hours, but this one is incredible. Unit #2410 at the Cosmopolitan sold for $751,950 in 2007. Now the bank(s) is willing to sell at $396,000 which equates to a $412,610.42 loss!

From a cost per square foot perspective, in 2007 this unit sold for $571psf and now it is selling at $301psf. I believe this will create a new cost per square foot record at the 2007 building. I will need to confirm.

Just Leased At Madison Tower | Hotel 1000

September 20, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

I’ve been fortunate this year to work with GREAT people. I just came back from a quick trip downtown to help a client sign a lease at Madison Tower/Hotel 1000. In my opinion leasing at a condo/hotel has its advantages.

Hotel services

Expanded amenities

Incredible customer service

24 hour concierge

Valet

Discounts on room service/restaurant dining

Expanded security

My client is thrilled for his move in…..I can understand why!

UrbanCondoSpaces can help you lease your dream unit or find the right tenant for your home. For more information see our condo/home leasing service.

Here is a description on Madison Tower (Courtesy of MadisonTowerCondos.com):

Madison Tower is comprised of 47 units units that sit above Hotel 1000 in Downtown Seattle.

Madison Tower is a boutique condo/hotel project that offers luxurious amenities and functional floor plans. Completed in 2006, Madison Towers was the first hotel/condo project built in Seattle. Located at 1st Ave and Madison Street, Madison Tower offers an exceptional location. Amenities include a spa, gym, business center, room service, housekeeping service, virtual golfing, private elevators, exclusive roof-top deck and 24 hour valet.

The building is located between Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market on the corner of 1st Ave and Madison St and occupies a quarter block.

Overall, Madison Tower is class A project, good location and a great offering for Seattle residents.

Escala-FHA Approved

June 7, 2010 By admin 1 Comment

According to Eric Mehr of Escala’s sales team, Escala was FHA approved on May 24th. However they still need about 15 to 20 more sales to
start closing FHA loans. Also according to Mehr, Escala has closed 27 conventional and cash deals thus far.

Escala Sales Picking Up Steam-FHA Approval Just Weeks Away

April 27, 2010 By jeff Leave a Comment

I spoke with Erik Mehr of Team Builder JLS yesterday regarding the progress at Escala Condominiums. According to Mehr, they have successfully closed 6 sales since taking the project over. They have over 40 pending sales and for those of you interested, you can follow their pending sales in the MLS. They made a commitment to adding all their sales to the MLS last month.

In summary, Erik felt that they were making great progress. He said that the HOA dues approach that reduced the owners monthly payments was very well received. I inquired about what units were selling well, and as you might have expected the units priced between $450,000 and $550,000 have seen a lot of activity. Mehr also mentioned that the “F” plans were seeing an abundance of sales as well. They are the 3 bedroom units, generally priced over $2,000,000 dollars. Thus far out of 20+ 3 bedroom units, Escala has sold 8 of those floorplans.

In terms of financing, MetLife, the projects preferred lender, is lending conventionally and will continue to do so. This squashes a lot of the rumors that were suggesting that you had to purchase “all cash”. I was also surprised to hear that the project is only a few weeks away from FHA approval as well. This will be a monumental step for the success of the project. I will confirm when they get their approval.

Overall, the 30-40% in reductions seem to be moving the majority of this inventory. As the number of “new” units downtown continue to dissapate, Escala will be looked at as a good option for downtown living.

Bravern To Lease South Tower

April 27, 2010 By jeff 1 Comment

Schnitzer West has just announced that they will be renting the South tower at the Bravern Residences in Bellevue. This should not come as a surprise, given the market conditions and the current inventory levels in downtown Bellevue. What is surprising is discreet manner in which Schnitzer has been operating. The brokerage community has had no idea what direction the project was going in. Thus making it very difficult to recommend the project to prospective buyers. In addition, a few of the contracted buyers that I have spoken with also felt a little uneasy about the future and direction of the project.

This is a dramatic move that will ultimately change the inventory levels in Bellevue overnight. As seen on their new website, www.liveatbravern.com, they give you access to units for sale in the North Tower and units for rent in the South Tower. Rents will start at $1,100 dollars per month and are rumored to be as much as $5,000 per month. They are advertising the Grand Opening as coming “soon”.

There is just basic language on the website leaving interested tenants the option of leaving their e-mail for further updates:
Found on LiveAtBraven.com:

Introducing rental homes in the South Tower at The Bravern: homes in a wide range of floor plans, and whose quality, design, and amenities are as exceptional as the community they’re part of.

Eric Pryne of the Seattle Times wrote a great piece that can be found at SeattleTimes.com . According to his article Dan Ivanhoff the managing director of the project was quoted as saying “we’re shorting the supply” when referencing the inventory and lack of demand. He added, that the change to apartments is not permanent and that the South Tower may be sold in the future depending on the market conditions.

This news also dramatically effects all of the existing apartment inventory in Bellevue as well. I have not researched the exact number of available units for rent, but I can say that the number of vacant units is HUGE. There are a handful of projects that were just completed and more on the way.

The other interesting angle to this story will be how it impacts Bellevue Towers, Washington Square, One-Main and Continental. These are all active projects in Downtown Bellevue, fighting for each buyer looking to purchase in next 24 months.

Condo at the Cosmopolitan Reduced by 56%

April 9, 2010 By jeff 2 Comments

This is something you don’t see everyday. There is a condo on the 27th floor at the Cosmopolitan that will go auction at $385,000. That is a $490,000 reduction from the current listed price for this unit see here: Unit 2704. This is a remarkable opportunity to purchase, that will be over at about 11:30am when the auction at King County is complete. Let me explain how it came to be.

The owners of this unit purchased it on 9/07/2007 for $735,000. Like many other owners today, they may have experienced financial hardship. Prior to going to auction, most owners will try to sell a home as a “short sale”. If you read my post from a few days ago, you can see how many options there are in working with the bank to save your home from the foreclosure process. In this case, the owners were either denied home preservation or they simply didn’t try. So once a bank determines that the owner is incapable of keeping the home they start the process of foreclosure. This is a diagram of how the timeline works as an owner heads towards an auction date:

As sad as this story is, it is a reality of todays market. Some new buyer will own this incredible unit on the 27th floor for a very good price.

See a few more pictures of the unit here:
