I've driven past this building, (the Hakoya or Hokoya lofts, even the builders don't seem to know. Marketing 101 people, spell the name right! You say tomato, I say tomoto, I say you're wrong, etc. etc...) a few times, and just saw it pop up on the RMLS. There appear to be 6 2-3 bedroom units in the building,
I was a little shocked to see the prices, starting at $300k and going up from there (that's $290 / square foot for this 1034 sq. ft. loft). $300k will buy almost any house in the immediate neighborhood, and I'm pretty sure I'd rather have a yard and basement for my $300k. I'm not sure that this is the greatest location for lofts, but then again there must be a market for new construction/condos/lofts in a more residential neighborhood. I'm not sure why people don't love old houses as much as me, but I guess it's theoretically possible.
Anybody seen the inside or braved the "hardhat tours"? Anybody out there considering one? This stretch of Williams looks kind of funky/hip (and scary in places) but we haven't really explored it yet.
