Hard to get too excited about the aesthetics of this project. It's nice infill, but totally forgettable.

Drove by and it's actually a little depressing in person.

I don't typically recommend the application of coatings on new brick, but a lime wash would go a long way towards improving the aesthetics here.

I still haven't seen any marketing or pricing.

I noticed the units facing the street are virtually finished inside.

[Pete]

The units facing the street are 98% finished and have a back patio. At least one model looks like it could open any day.

I thought I had seen lights and TVs on like people were already living there?

Don't think so. Probably just the model(s).

Are these rentals or for sale?

For sale but prices haven't been released yet.

Listed pricing is from $372,000 to $835,000 with per SF cost of just under $400 across the board.

Interesting that the smaller units are actually priced lower per square foot than the bigger units. But at $375-400/sf, best of luck selling them.

I still feel it is a mistake offering town homes without enclosed garages.

Some of the units have private, attached garages but most do not.

It may be a market mistake, but I am surprised how much this matters to people (assuming it does). Of course, I haven't owned a car in a couple years so I'm not at all typical, but I never saw a downside to parking on the street in an urban area.

[Pete]

All the units have covered parking.

Some of the townhouses facing the street have private garages.

Cars in OKC are more valuable than most places. Protecting that car and preferring comfort from weather due to usage amounts, is the reason it is so important here.

Also throw in the fact, a lot of people use a garage for storage of many things. Which storage is very valuable when considering smaller square footages downtown.

I just don't see how one could ever live downtown on a normal salary... At least not in the current for sale units.

well most i know rent. and define "normal salary"... because i have no idea what range that is.

Median salary in OKC is about 47K. A single person with that income, downtown owning is virtually impossible without unique circumstances - and even then it would be in the lower value buildings like Maywood Lofts or Central Avenue Villas.

Add in significant other or being open to roomates, your options downtown begin to become much more legit.
