Five model homes at One Park Place offer gorgeous views, inside and out
Looking to leave the suburban lifestyle or find the perfect penthouse? The marketing team at One Park Place is sure you’ll find it here, where modern materials and luxurious finishes combine to create extraordinary condominiums inside the 20-story tower.
The bustling scene now found downtown has drawn people from all stages of life to One Park Place. From atop the highest point in the city, its central location provides relief from rising gas prices and long commute times; and according to residents, monthly social events have created a “cul-de-sac community feel, but with much better views.”
But perhaps the best feature is the price, where million-dollar amenities can be found at price points starting in the lower $300,000s.
“The sellout of three popular floor plans speaks to the strength of a developer who invests in the building and the quality of finishes and amenities offered here,” said Andrew Mall, who markets the building along with Ellen Vap. “We closed 16 sales in 2013, and have three sales scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2014. This is a highly coveted downtown location.”
Five model homes are open daily.
A sun-drenched sixth-floor condo is listed at $325,000 and provides two bedrooms, 21/2 bathrooms and just over 1,900 square feet. On this floor and throughout the building, buyers will appreciate the abundance of natural light that fills every room.
