I am personally looking forward to a luxury building being built and my wife and I will be first in line to buy.

We were expecting to be blown away by Axis but honestly it's average build quality and few amenities were a turnoff. And we found all of the other units to be of rental quality. We aren't asking for five star luxury but certainly a step-up from what's currently offered. Would love to see some sort of luxury high rise in downtown!

I believe there is another tower being converted from rental into condo as well. So they seem to be on the upswing. The rental market definitely seems to be stronger at the moment though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923860625279115418.post-59223680358544360092015-02-16T15:22:51.743-08:002015-02-16T15:22:51.743-08:00It seems like all of the news I keep hearing is re...It seems like all of the news I keep hearing is rental high-rises, why is this? and why no properties on the higher end of the scale? I understand they are trying to attract young people but what about others who have a little bit more money? Most of these properties I have looked at in the downtown area, and Santana Row, have builder grade interiors at premium prices.
