Day after Day, as new condo buildings are being built in the Washington D.C. Metro area and nearby Arlington, VA, I read new descriptions that say “cozy boutique condo building.” But what does a “boutique condo building” really mean? Here’s my personal (i.e. others may have other viewpoints) definition: Dictionary.com defines ”boutique” as: “1. a small shop or a small speciality department within a larger store 2. any small, exclusive business offering customized service So how does that apply to real estate? I tend to think of a Boutique building as a smaller building, with fewer than 100 units, under 5 floors. (0 comments)
