The bankruptcy comment is not substantiated. And construction on the rooftop is underway. I’m the Sales Team Manager at the Decatur, my contact information is below and I'm more than happy to give you a private showing and answer your questions. Please write me at karenbalkin@pnwrealty.com; karenbalkin.com The Decatur is a lovely building and over 60% sold. I recently attended a party for the owners and they love the building and their individual homes because of the roomy and sunny layouts, views, location, GE appliances, gorgeous fixtures, etc. It is a building that has a friendly community in place that loves its pets. The Decatur tastefully delivers vintage style with contemporary details. It is completely renovated inside and out and has a stunning marble foyer. Come and compare for yourself. There are many units still available. Prices start at $245,000. It is a gem and a rare find with great prices. There are a lot of false rumors about the Decatur I can dismiss.

I know the developer had filed for bankruptcy but supposedly received additional funding to avert the bankruptcy proceedings. I would be frustrated too if they don't fulfill their promises. However, I'm glad that you're enjoying your condo. Eric - Sorry to hear of the issues you’ve faced.

Several promised amenities including a rooftop deck and a rooftop garden on top of the garage have not been started. Several executives from the developer came out to a meeting of homeowners, and gave use a story of financial woes. Supposedly, some employees who were fired made promises such as the rooftop garden and they shouldn't have been made. The fired employees worked for the developer and the owners expect these promises to be fulfilled. It is also obvious that the planning for the renovation didn't take these amenities into account, as we were told that it is hard to add them on now. I really like the unit I purchased, but I'd like it a lot better if the developer was making a better attempt to finish off what we were promised.
