I spoke with the Realtor and there are several recently written contracts at this site. I am planning to buy one myself after checking everything out for myself. I found the quality to be superb and I spoke with an owner who told me she loves the place. Everyone has to start somewhere, and what I personally witnessed was a quiet and quality driven building with floorplans and finishes like no other. I reccommend it to all. and things are looking up for Bloomsbury and the downtown market. Please people, why would you trash someone that is trying to add to the downtown skyline? I love all of the condo projects! Raleigh is growing! You all need to just let it go. I spoke with the Realtor and there are several recently written contracts at this site.

THE RECESSION STARTED IN 2007. HELLO!!!! NOW THE MARKET IS HEATING UP AND BLOOMSBURY IS LEADING THE CHARGE WITH PERFECT TIMING. Judy appears to be very jealous of the finest looking condominium building in Downtown Raleigh. Bloomsbury was just recently completed AFTER the financial meltdown and just last night was honored with a Raleigh Downtown Imprint Award for enhancing the beauty of the Downtown Raleigh Skyline. Perhaps Judy should reflect on her own bitterness and not waste so much time attacking others. Did anyone ever stop to thick that this human being has a hidden objective which is enhancing her own pocketbook? No that would be too logical! She makes herself so obvious it is humorous. Allen Tate just recently released this beautiful project to the marketplace. Seeing is believing.

I have been in the units and I see The Joel Lane house, and Dorthea Dix land and trees and NC State Campus and a hospital at the prison which is new and blocks the view of the prison, and oh yeah...the most spectacular views of Raleigh on the east side. So perhaps Tina shouldn't walk in the neighborhood near the prison if it is so bad. No, that's not Tina's problem. Her problem is she's not Tina. She's obviously someone with a real vedetta that walks with Marcus coincidentally, in such a horrible place by the prison. AND she and her friend Marcus know all the details of the building because...they are psychic??? Perhaps she carries mace. Or maybe Marcus does. He loves the beautiful peice of land but I guess he hates it's location because it's too close to the prison which has been there among Boylan Heights harmlessly for decades. ( right behind the Mayor's house)Comon now Tina, you're tipping your mit..... Okay, so the view of the prison is bad why?

THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. BS is just air. Do people really enjoy living in their rectangular condominium aquariums or are they just fish dying the get out? The Queen of Condos downtown had to sell her mansion for Money in Hayes Barton to get a tremendous view of the HUE. Too bad nobody believes her spin anymore. Her MLS listings are widely known to be fictitious and she does not disclose material Plumbing and Mechanical problems with her property.

How does Marcus know all of the above mentioned details and why is he back in the am recommenting? Trust me, after I write this I won't be back here again. He obviously has it out for this guy. I credit the banks and the economy for all of our real estate woes. Wether its a crappy building, or wether it has nine foot ceilings or wether the guy drives a school bus with whatever license plates is so obviously petty and the spirit marcus wrote this in was just wrong. Let's listen to Lisa and judge not. I think me and my girlfriend need to go over to Bloomsbury and see for ourselves, but I promise that we won't post hateful attacks. Hopefully Marcus is at church right now. Peace, Grant Boy oh boy! This sounds like alot of real estate people at each others throats.

After reading the blogs I felt compelled to write: If I didn't know better, and maybe I don't, it sounds like Marcus is bitter, and likely very close to the situation. A friend of mine in Real Estate told me that even a high profile realtor in the downtown condo scene (we will leave her nameless) purchased muliple units in the Bloomsbury. Why can't everyone just get along? I think there is room for all and when the media tries to ruin a project the others should rally around each other. Wouldn't it be great if they all made it? People who revel in someone else's pain really need to check themselves. "Vengence is mine sayith the Lord" Lisa B I was looking for info on condos this am and I stumbled across this.
