The construction area outside is a mess downtown.
Why would you want to own a home in a converted office building in the middle of a protected zone where there is 24 hour machine gun presence? Doesn't seem very spa-like.
So there won't be a lot of traffic in front of your house? So you don't worry about walking home at night?
The area around the Setai is not very Construction-y.
However, to answer mf21's question, I don't think the Setai's sufficiently more fabulous than other downtown options to be worth the extra money, but the pricing is a lot better than other developments with a similar spin such as 55 Wall and the W. If you like the aesthetic and aren't concerned about the general real estate market, the Setai doesn't seem like a particularly terrible option.
i bought a 1 bed, 1.5 baths on the 18th floor. prices have gone up about $200 per sq foot since i signed the contract. my bet/hope is for the area to become the next tribeca. lots of high end shops are popping up in the area. so, i shall see...
they say some of the lower floors will start to close late august. but honestly, they are still adding on additional floors. so i don't know how that's going to work out. will they allow people to move-in even though there's major construction going on on top floors?
thats what i have been asking myself too.. to be honnest, that is the impression I got from discussions with the sales team, but nothing is ever made clear cut! I am lookign further up, so I am not sure mine would be ready for Sept/Oct...
Do u know if that awful aircondition unti is gone yet? Is the lobby up and running?
Setai
Has anyone managed to negotiate any discounts with this developer? How far along is the building?
Is the development worth the higher price per sq ft?

Thanks. I was wondering if anyone knows somebody who has purchased there?

Tolho, may i ask which layout and at what price?
Don't ask for a discount but rather try getting them to pay for your transfer and mansion taxes. That's what I got for my 1bed.
i got the 18D for $1,015,000. yes, they took care of the mansion tax.
Congrats! Have you gompleted yet? Do you have a move-in date?
scheduled move-in is sometime in september.
OK thanks - who knows, we could be neighbours before too long! Do you know if the resto is still scheduled to open this summer?
