Luxury…at a value!

Yesterday I listed a condo at KOIN Towers Fountain Plaza. With the “New and Shiny” buildings we have recently seen, like The Cosmopolitan, it’s nice to be able to go back in time a bit and revisit buildings like KOIN Tower. At the end of last year I sold a unit at KOIN/Fountain Plaza on the 27^th floor for $1,750,000. It was a large unit with spectacular views. My new listing, just one floor below, and again, it provides some of the best views in the city! This northwest corner unit offers sensational sunset views to the west, amazing Mt. St. Helens and Mt Adams views to the north and Willamette River views to the northwest. This 1950 square foot unit has wonderful open spaces…and those amazing views! The best part of all, at $929,000, you are getting this for under $500 a square foot! Now remember, 26^th floor views at The Cosmopolitan went for over $1,100 a square foot! OK, now the KOIN Tower is NOT The Cosmopolitan, but it represents luxury at a good value!

I believe we are at the beginning of a major transition in the KOIN building. Many of the original owners are gone and a newer, more thrifty demographic is buying in. There are not many condo buildings being built right now (The Vista) and I can see moving forward, many buyers recognizing the potential and value in a building like KOIN Tower/Fountain Plaza.

While current owners at the KOIN have not really participated in the run up of prices the last 10 years, buyers today will find a high quality building with unmatched views and will benefit tremendously moving forward. The area around KOIN Tower is also improving with several hotels with new restaurants, and a high- end grocery store. I cannot really think of a better time to buy at KOIN/Fountain Plaza than right now. To set up a time to see unit #2604, give me a call and be ready to be wowed by some awesome views! If you would like to tour this fantastic unit, give me a call today!
