I have been hearing a lot of buzz about this project for quite some time prior to it's completion. Yesterday was the first opportunity I had to check it out since it's launch about 4 weeks ago and I have to say it is pretty cool. When I look at property, I try to keep a very objective eye although sometimes I can't help but insert my personal taste preferences when reviewing. Having toured all of the units, I think I can safely say that this project will evoke a strong reaction either way - you are either going to love it or hate it. The exterior continues the West Hollywood trend of vertical living, strong angles, and attention grabbing colors. It definitely has a Lorcan O'Herlihy vibe to it and I think it makes for an interesting addition to Sweetzer. Internally, the spaces have a good flow to them. Sometimes with these multi level units, you are left wondering how you are going to create a functional living space. This is not the case with this project. You can tell that there was a lot of thought that went into the layout and the materials used inside. Speaking of materials, this is where things can get a little tricky. They opted for a red mahogany hard wood floor in the common spaces and then a deep brown (in sunlight) verging on black carpeting in the bedrooms. This to me is the point where you stay intrigued or will know instantly that this is not the place for you. I had worked with client on the Formosa project who installed textured red hardwoods that had this black grout-ish material in between the wood that created a stunning effect in conjunction with the architecture of the unit. Although I like it on this project, I am not as in love with it as I was with the other. The kitchens are nice, a bit on the smaller side with mid range stainless steel appliances. The one cool feature I loved was that the higher end units have roof top patios that actually have grass, which I has not seen before. Units range from 1141 sq ft ($799,000) to over 1800 for the best view unit ($1,449,000). There are larger units at 1975 sq ft for $1,199,000 that lack the view and light. Like all new development projects, they are starting out on the high side, but would imagine prices will adjust over the next six weeks. Definitely a project to follow and one that I think is worth checking out.
