712 Tucker, one of more than 10 new developments planned for Downtown has recently revamped their website, which now boasts of units starting at $155,000 and ranging through $400,000. Located on half of the block bound by St. Mary’s St., Tucker St., and Boylan Ave., the development promises four to five stories of 1,2, and 3 bedroom units with flat and town home styles. Most of floor plans are posted on the website, and recent information from the sales team suggests that the rest will be posted soon.
With two courtyards, underground and garage parking, two workout rooms, and a variety of other things it should be a very interesting project if they can keep to their pricing. The smallest unit shown on the website is 720 square feet, and the largest sits just under 1600 square feet. Some of the renderings and floor plans suggest that there might be some Brownstone type units on the Boylan side which would add a nice touch to the ever changing downtown area.
When this project was first proposed quite some time ago, it was mentioned that the development might be part apartment/part condo but no news has been heard about whether or not that still remains the case or if it will be all individually owned. The Crosland website (the developer) suggests that there will be a section of units available for rent, but it also quotes the pricing and square footage different than the sales website. It is shown with an old rendering of the project so it can be assumed that the information has changed.
The sales website says the building will be done in 2008, but given the scope of the project and that the existing buildings have not been removed that seems like a lofty goal. Crosland is also the developer of Oberlin Court on Wade Ave.
At any rate, the news of affordable condos is a much needed breath for Downtown and it will be exciting to see this project take shape.

This is one of the best priced condos but it’s still way too much when you can buy a great house in Historic Haywood/Downtown East for much less.
What are the condo fees for again? So someone will change a light bulb once a year?
Fences have gone up around the existing buildings recently (last week, maybe). Looks like the construction process is about to begin. I’m looking forward to the seeing the results.
Looks like there are efficiency units in the top right of the floorplan, which I assume would be the ones priced at $155k and possibly smaller than 720 sq ft. Which makes me wonder if then the 1 BRs are really going to go for more like $200+ similar to other Glenwood area condos.
i remain skeptical of anything with crosland’s name on it. if their other recent properties are any indication, they seem out to make a fast buck by throwing up buildings as quickly as possible without a lot of consideration for aesthetics, community enhancement, or traffic flow. unlike many of the other builders putting up condos downtown, this one makes me sad.
