Comments on: Brix Condos – Update http://seattlecondosandlofts.com/2006/10/brix-condos-update Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:47:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Lovin' Brix http://seattlecondosandlofts.com/2006/10/brix-condos-update/comment-page-1#comment-81970 Lovin' Brix Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:01:36 +0000 http://seattlecondosandlofts.com/2006/10/brix-condos-update#comment-81970 Coincidentally, "Brix Condos Suck's" blog is no longer available. Obviously an unfortunate victim of the economy. Many people who put deposits down on the project were not able to move in after all. I live at Brix, and am a successful realtor in Seattle. I'm very happy living here and love the entire project. The finishes are awesome, the upgrades I chose make it even more awesome, and everyone who comes over is always impressed. Just my two cents.

I have experience with this project, as they caused me to lose a great deal of money. The project is very hack, poorly built and finished. Please see my blog linked below for a more detailed account, but basically, RUN from this project as fast as you can (unless you like hearing poop flow through piping directly over your dining room table and / or would like to know how to cut the wiring to the security system. Seriously. This project is what’s wrong with the condo developers and their inability to connect with their customers.

Gallery shares the same developer (Schnitzer Northwest), architect (Mithun) and interior designer (MNID) as Brix. However, Gallery features more floor plan choices, larger square footage, usable decks/balconies and more resident amenities.

It chaotic, but at least they did give people a fair chance; many other projects quietly pre-reserve ahead of the initial offering. I'm not a fan of the range pricing. Obviously, the greater the interest the likelihood it'll be at the high end of the price range. I'd prefer they just set the price so people can better judge overall value, rather than having to wait until they actually have to complete the purchase and sale contract.

Unorganized and a real cluster ****. The Williams people seem to love to create a frenzy. It worked again but the ill will was palpable. Actual pricing was not known, details on HODs, etc. were unknown but expected commitments to be made. The softening marketing is going to make this excess a thing of the past. Williams will need to learn to put "marketing" into their name. The open house was a joke. Unorganized and a real cluster ****. The Williams people seem to love to create a frenzy.
