I purchased a unit here for myself, here's some rationale for buying, varying from little to high importance...
- surrounded by greenery (park in the south, vines) and public artwork
- grocery store right underground
- curated retail stores and dining (this has been discussed before), combined with....
- a community feeling (hopefully), with 600 ft of frontage and a courtyard, as opposed to being plopped right on the street
- emphasis on design and Westbank/BIG has a good track record
- proximity to The Well for office, retail, dining, etc..
- one downside is that if it becomes a tourist attraction it could be annoying...but overall, no other projects were as interesting.
Any other purchasers here--would be great to see your rationale and biggest points for buying
