Skye Condos III Progress 9/26 - 9/30

Owners and Friends,

With no advertising and just by referral, we continue to pre-sell Skye III very well! Based on the success of Skye I and the tremendous progress at Skye II in Capitol Hill, Skye Condos III in Washington Park is a shinning success even before we have opened the doors to the general public. Our formula for success; great design, location and affordability is a home run. The metro Denver Condo market is very good and gaining strength and Skye Condos are right on top.

The Denver Post:

Since 1996, the increase in prices for condos in metro Denver has exceeded that of single-family homes: 101.1 percent versus 92.4 percent, according to an analysis of condo- and home-sale data by The Denver Post. Additionally, condo-price growth has surpassed house-price growth in five of the past nine years.

At Skye III, we feel our buyers want a beautiful property on the outside as well as the inside. That's why we have dramatically changed the exterior and created a work of art with architect Nick Antonopoulos of Praxarc Design. Other developers who may be more concerned with higher profits are taking a less expensive approach and are just not adding the great design our owners at Skye Condos love. We create buildings we like with our heart and soul. It’s a lot more than just a numbers game or math problem.

The Rocky Mountain News:

In recent decades, urban condo design has largely tended to be more sedate and less imaginative than commercial office buildings and cultural institutions. Developers of residential buildings have often gone with designs that were more economical to build, especially as urban residents continued to migrate to the suburbs.

While some cities such as San Francisco and New York have been innovative with urban loft spaces, much of the urban landscape has continued to be dominated by more traditional, often boxlike, brick apartment and condo dwellings.

"There was no heart or soul to it," says Ronnette Riley, chairwoman of the committee on design of the American Institute of Architects. "But in the last few years, there has been a shift with residents taking as much pride in the outside of buildings as in the inside."

Also, the improvement in materials and technology has provided more opportunity for architects to design structures that even a few years ago might not have been possible, Riley says.

The demand for high-rise condominiums has increased as land becomes scarce and property values rise, and developers are looking for ways to make their buildings stand out in the urban residential market.

+++++

Skye Condos’ combination of modern design, location in Wash Park and pre-construction price point is a home run!
