They do have some incentives going now - no HODs till 2008 & $1500 towards buyer closing costs. However, sources tell they may work with buyers on pricing.

We missed you for camping over the 4th. I hope you had a good time wherever you were. (In Canada perhaps?) Anyway, the Onyx Condos look interesting. Thanks for blogging about them. I walk by them all the time since I live a couple blocks from there. It would be interesting to see them from the inside. Hi Ben. We missed you for camping over the 4th.

This project will certainly have an impact on the block's current businesses and the low-brow feel to the corridor. And, it is a large project that will undoubtedly change the feel and possible culture to the area. I'm not too concerned about noise. Anyone looking to live in a high-density area, especially in the Pike/Pine corridor, should realize the cons. Look at Belltown and the Market district for example, the noise hasn't kept people from living there. Plus, when lived on the Hill, I accepted the drunks outside my window every weekend, as the cost of living there. Depending on the design and how well the developer accommodates business & residents concerns, I think it's beneficial to Capitol Hill. Really, the property isn't being used efficiently as a car dealership. And, by bringing more residents to the corridor, it may improve it's sense of community and neighorhood feel.

It looks questionable, in the sense that noise issues may make it inconvenient at best (as reported by the Stranger). http://www.thestranger.com/blog/2006/07/bmw_building_on_pike.php Here’s a condo project slated to begin in the BMW building up on Cap Hill.
