Philadelphia Real Estate - Curtis Center Luxury Condominium Idea

Philadelphia Real Estate - Curtis Center Luxury Condominium Idea

by Mark Wade


We all have a passion for something in life; something that keeps our imaginations going. Some people dream of things like music or philosophy while for others it may be medicine or martial arts. I happen to dream of, and have dreamt of for most of my life, potential Philadelphia real estate condominium conversion projects. I wonder which of the lovely historic buildings might turn over the highest dollar per quare foot in resale value if converted into a condominium here in Center City Philadelphia.

And here is my conclusion: The Curtis Center, particularly the southernmost 25% of the beautiful Center City building sitting on the northwest corner of 6th and Walnut Streets.

The shear window space is breathtaking. Consider that if this portion of the Curtis Center was converted into high end luxury condominiums, the sales pitch:

*All units with over sized windows

*All Living rooms would have a southern exposure

*Almost all bedrooms would have a southern exposure

*All units would overlook beautiful Washington Square Park

*All units could have indoor garage parking

*All penthouse units could have stunning southern exposure views of the square

*Roughly 10% of the units also face Independence Hall Park

*One of the most stunning historical buildings in Center City Philadelphia

*Fabulous Location!!

In addition, I would consider making the units fairly large. I would sell no unit for less than $1,000,000, and range up to say $7,000,000. Every unit would have at least 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. They could possibly have random width pine wood flooring throughout and definitely stainless steel high-end appliances by Viking, Bosch, Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele. The kitchens and bathrooms would also have subway tile and granite counters. The ability to provide the individual Penthouse units with luxurious private garden space could be invaluable with Pottery Barn Living Room Furniture now made for outdoors.

A walkout to a private deck and large shelved walkin closets would be a nice touch to the master bedroom. A closet organization system, similar to California Closets would be an example of an upgrade that I would offer as a standard ingredient in each unit. Philadelphia Condos are notoriously cheap on their closet space (as a whole), and underestimating the value of a large, well-organized set of closets is something builders of Center City Philadelphia Lofts and Condos have been doing for years.

Also I would make the building as "green" as possible. I am sure that this magnificent building would provide fabulous ceiling height in each unit for cathedral ceilings with ceiling fans. I would add high-efficiency heating and cooling systems as well as panels that would double as sunshades and solar power generators. There would be a lot of incoming natural light from the large windows that would also accent the intricate moldings throughout each loft. I would cut the curb on the north side of Walnut Street, at the entrance to this building to allow for about a half dozen car "loading zone" parking with valet service. The owners would even have the convenience of a full-time on-site 24-hour concierge...and of course this would be a pet-friendly Philadelphia Condominium.

I have started to play the Pennsylvania lotto lately. Should I win say $250,000,000 or more, you can be sure that the southernmost 25% of the Curtis Center will be the latest and greatest Philadelphia condominium conversion project to hit the market!

by Mary May

America's slumping real estate market has been making headlines for some time now.

Is possibly not a bad idea if you want long label profits from your real estate assets!

For the rest of this article, we will discuss the meaning behind what we have learned about this subject so far.

Florida for example, has long been a favorite for British and European expatriates and feast makers. This partially-steamy paradise is home to theme parks, beaches and bags of sunshine and it is also home to sooner well-urban expert communities? And here likely investors will find a buyers' market at the flash.

As ethics stop, construction slows and inventories of presented homes are truly early to mass up, buyers will find some incredible deals on home. while it might be some time before this particular market recovers to its past high-estimate glory, British investors for example who are also looking to call America's Sunshine municipal home are prone to find some incredible deals. New construction builders are even slashing their estimates in Florida!

While the up arrival is doubtful for the American real estate market as a total, some American cities are predicted to make a sooner dressed recover in the arrival being. Cannoned is predicting a few regions in particular will launch to restful by 2009. The areas CNN say are evaluating scrutiny narrowly comprise Dallas/Ft. appeal, New Orleans, Atlanta and portable. A few other cities such as St. Louis and Indianapolis are also on the slope.

While the sub-primary disaster and testimony foreclosures are making the global American real estate market look chilling, odds are it will not vacation down for horribly long because the important fundamentals on which the market is built such as stout employment and dressed affordability stay in place.

There are some tricks to exchange in markets that have been traditionally hot - right now as the estimates are plummeting and sellers are receiving antsy, the likely for good buys is high. Some parts of the Tampa market for example have seen homes on the market for months lacking any hobby. This means some sellers are so anxious to get out averting foreclosure that they're agreeable to take the first reasonable present they accept. So, the key to a miserly buy is to find popular regions and violent sellers? And unfortunately for the sellers, it's not intricate to do right now.

As Americans face a foreclosure disaster and banks are agreeable to take buyouts below evaluate, the US is be arrival more attractive to buyers purchasing in a currency other than the money. Investors who want to get in and do so for reasonable estimates will find the time to inspect home is nigh! Odds are certain regions will not vacation down in estimate for long and by exchange in low you post the best prospect of making the best profits over the standard to long label.

When we learn, we continue on a path of growth. Therefore, learning about this subject has already helped you more than you know.

The Most Profitable Real Estate

The Most Profitable Real Estate

by Von Sutten


Every homebuyer can be broken into two categories or a mixture of those two. There are those that are buying a home for the sole purpose of enjoying a place to live and experiencing a little more security, but there are others still that are looking for real estate that they can live in while also making a considerable profit. Buyers who are just looking for a nice place to live are less interested in bargains and "fixers" and for this reason are not really interested in finding the most profitable piece of real estate. However, those slightly more adventurous buyers are willing to compromise certain things to get a great deal and make a big profit, and for these types of buyers there are several ways to find just the right property.

If you are trying to make a profit of more than just the average appreciation value of a home, it is a simple fact that you will need to choose a house that is not quite perfect. However, this does not mean any old piece of junk will do the trick. There are several guidelines to consider.

First, you should be looking for a structurally sound home in a decent location. Complete overhauls and remodels are risky, while small cosmetic projects can easily increase the value of a home. Even a new paint job can increase value. Five times the amount of money you spend on paint will be added to your home's value. Similar cosmetic improvements that will add a great deal of value are new carpets, hardwood floors, landscaping, lighting fixtures, kitchen cabinets, and window coverings. Homes that need more intense structural repairs can become real nightmare and should be very carefully considered.

If at all possible, you should find out how much the seller paid for the home. It might be as simple as asking them, but you might need to check county records. This will give you a good idea about how the values have increased in that particular area, but it will also let you know how flexible on price the seller might be. The longer ago it was purchased, the less the seller probably paid for it, and the more negotiable the price might be.

Looking for these things, the real test comes with negotiating to get a home under market value. Finding a motivated seller and convincing them that their home requires some extra attention will help your case and work as a good foundation for bargaining ability. With a little extra work, you can move into a home that will also end up making you a lot of money. Be ready to buy, but be patient to find the right property. It will definitely pay off.

Downtrends in Gurgaon Real Estate

Downtrends in Gurgaon Real Estate

by George Gonigal


Capital values weaken, rentals upbeat...

Residential properties in Gurgaon are expected to witness a marginal drop in capital values with fresh supply of about 1,000 new residential units in the next 3-6 months. Rentals, at the other end, are rising incessantly.

As per the recent report of Cushman & Wakefield, an international consultancy firm, capital prices at prime residential areas of Gurgaon have gone down by about 11-per cent between June and August 2007. Thus, the price trends in Gurgaon real estate are likely to be on the downslide at least for the next two quarters.

Meanwhile, the new residential projects in Gurgaon are witnessing sluggish trends and real estate developers are reportedly under pressure to cut prices in order to create demand.

Currents market trends

More than 50 per cent of the total residential supply in the Gurgaon property markets is targeted towards the middle income group, and the capital rates are in the range from Rs 2,500 to Rs 3,500 per sq. ft. Although prices of apartments at the prime residential areas of Gurgaon start from the levels of Rs 14,000 per sq. ft

Residential rentals in Gurgaon, at the other end, have risen by an average of 10 per cent in the past 6-months, said Ajay Nigam of Prime Properties. According to property brokers, rental values are increased by almost 30-35 per cent in the prime residential localities of DLF and Unitech.

Demand for quality accommodation, especially apartments in Gurgaon equipped with the facilities of 24 hrs power and water supply is ever-rising, owing to frequent power cuts in Gurgaon. Besides, a large number of people are settling in the city with boom in services sector and the income levels are also increasing.

With this, the trends in the residential rentals in Gurgaon would remain upbeat and live, as far as the demand is concerned.
