Signature Place has begun

Richard -

You're right, as far as condos overall.  Downtown St Pete is still hot, though a lot of buildings that are still on the drawing board probably won't start. The Bullard project by Williams Park is off again, or at least delayed. Grand Bohemian is postponed a year so they can redesign with more hotel rooms and less condos, but other projects are going fine. No, so far none of the highrise developers here are offering incentives like the home builders are in the surrounding areas. As always, design, amenities, quality and location are critical - miss one of these, or fail to compensate in pricing if they are less desirable is often the key to lack of sales. Ovation just opened sales and prices start at $1,900,000, at the corner of 2nd Ave N and Beach - and I imagine JMC will do well as always. Three of the four penthouses are already committed.
