I walk by these on my way to work every morning and every morning I wonder who on earth would spend that much money to have someone be able to practically stand in your bedroom (that would be the first floor aprtment whose window is at the bottom left corner of the photo.) I don’t have the money for it, but if I did, I’d opt for a little more privacy. It seems to be a trend — I keep seeing condos up and down 11th Street with floor-to-ceiling windows. Is it so bad to have a normal window looking out onto the street rather than exposing everything you own (or, in my case, every mess in your house?)

I hate aluminum windows, it will look run down in under 10 years

I haven’t seen a really good deal for new constructions. Renovated condos in older buildings with everything (minus the stupid iPod dock) are selling for less these days. I guess some people are willing to pay the premium to be the first tenants in these flimsy, crappy towers.

I went in t5hese and was not impressed — small and low quality I thought — esp for the high price — but that’s my two cents

Not purchased, but I’m looking to buy right now. And older properties are consistently better buys than these new constructions. Yes, DC is expensive, but these new constructions are comparatively utter rip-offs.

agree with Ken…checked these out – poor workmanship and quality. very tight/cramped and not much attention to detail.
