Construction Watch: Waterfront Place

Work has started on another town home unit at Waterfront Place as sales continue in the development's mid-rise tower, The Pasquale.  The new residence will complete the project's first town house block.  Work on additional town houses, smaller than those built to date, will start in the spring.

"We have 24 units closed, six under contract, and another five leased," said Ellicott Development's Chris Martoche who is overseeing sales at the project.  Prices on the sales closed to date range from $344,000 to $1.32 million for the largest penthouse unit.

Tower residences include 10 to 12' ceilings, gourmet kitchens with custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, whirlpool tub and steam shower in master bathroom suites, walk-in closets, and one or more balconies. Several units on the upper floors have rooftop terraces. 

Remaining units are priced from $295,000 to the upper $700's with 1,342 to 2,622 sq.ft. of living space.

Four town homes along Ojibwa Circle have been completed and sold.  A fifth (above) is currently under construction.

"It is a double-lot unit, and will be the largest of all the townhomes we have built, with approximately 3,000 sq.ft. of living space and 4,000 sq.ft. total," said Martoche.  He expects the unit with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, plus study to be priced in the "lower to mid-$600's."

Ellicott plans to lower the rooflines and scale back the size and price of future town home units. 

"We will begin construction of three of the redesigned units in the spring," said Martoche.  "The construction of these will be market driven."   Ellicott will start additional town house units as units sell. 

A second tower is planned for the site, but for now Ellicott remains focused on selling the remaining units in The Pasquale.

at first i minded this building alot. i still think it could have looked better. kind of reminds me of the waterfront place in louisville: http://www.waterfrontparkplace.com/
not the best looking building but kind of grows on you. seems to have nice rooftop terraces.

on a complete side note, does anyone have any idea what they're doing to that old fire station on elmwood at great arrow? it was just sitting there for a while after they vacated it, but i saw activity on it recently. just curious, thought it would be a cool renovation.

I believe someone is fixing it up for a house or apartments.

On the condos: Its too bad the people who will live in these things insist on a concrete wall separating their property. Would it kill them to have a view of their neighbors terrace? What kind of "community" is that?

Cue the snarks who will scold me and say I have no business criticizing anything that gets built. How dare the public offer their input.

On cue...If you don't like the wall, don't live there.

Fences make good neighbors(even in tight quarters).

Very nice looking building on the water side, the blank wall facing the city sucks to be blunt.
