<p>The residential spaces have sheet rocking going up now, and model units are estimated to be ready in mid-summer.  The Alex will be ready to take offers on residential spaces at approximately that time, but the agent again stressed that they&#8217;re not in a race to finish.  It sounds as if the developer will be planning the release of these homes carefully.</p>
<p>At any rate, it will be interesting to finally see..something.  We tried to get some images of the views, or anything at all, but still waiting to hear back.  However, as long as the market continues to move forward as it has been, we may be able to start showing off their units very soon.</p>

<p>With the market being the way that it is, it would be difficult to see Alex choosing to go condo.  The real deals right now seem to be in resales, while new construction costs are definitely priced at a premium.  Resale listings are either meeting buyer demands on price, or being taken off the market.  However, new construction projects like ESCALA have made price increases.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s it going to be?  Will Alex be apartments, or condos?</p>
