647 Washington Ave

I live in Prospect Heights and go past this building all the time and can't for the life of me figure out what the deal is.

It has been on the market for what seems like forever and yet noone has moved in? They have open houses every weekend (as noted by some really classy balloons), yet nothing seems to move.

The building is not exactly award winning, but seems no worse than the other new constructions in the area.

Anyone know the score?

I've wondered about that myself, however this is true not just of this building but many of the new constructions around PH.

According to my broker neighbor, they start selling before the building is complete and has all the permits. For instance when I checked out the open house, they were showing one model apartment. In addition there are many inspections to pass and permits to obtain.

The Washington is a prime and extreme example of this. We went to an open house in what seemed like an almost complete building back in 2004. It seems like people just started to move in a few months ago.

i went to an open house at 647 Wash. back in February. Seemed pretty done to me. Maybe there is mold?
