I used to have friends that lived next to Mr. Thug in Rock Creek. They said the neighborhood almost kicked him out for throwing parties all the time Edited April 30, 2015 by BigFootsSocks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 To me, that's the coolest marketing vid I've ever seen. I would LOVE to see two or three more similar sized buildings on that same lot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Stairway to Heaven mashup tells you that this place is groovy, hip, and far out for the demographic theyre after. The couple I saw meeting with the sales agent when I was last there taking pics were exactly the demographic that mashup would appeal to. Young, hip and very obviously wealthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked to be about in 28 -32 age range.That certainly can be a good indication of wealth. But, is it also possible that this couple have many of the trappings of wealth but......1) were leasing the car.... And they only had one car ...... Not two.2) were still paying off their clothes at 18% on their credit cards3) were still paying student loans and4) generally had not much actual wealth but rather a debt enabled lifestyle financed by the cash flow from good white collar jobs that made them appear "obviously wealthy" despite having little money in the bank?Is that a possibility?I have known people who had good jobs, tons of debt to finance a lifestyle, but seemed "wealthy"..... They actually were not. They were actually living paycheck to paycheck. Edited May 15, 2015 by UtterlyUrban 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So you're saying they're from Dallas? That certainly can be a good indication of wealth.

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 day drinking, text to speech on a phone that is not very good at doing this.

UtterlyUrban Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) So a brown dude waltzed in and met Marlowe and his green-eyed agent Stephanie. Some info I got...Projected groundbreaking 6/15 (depending on sales obviously) 20 month construction timeframeTarget is 18 contracts to move forward2 contracts already signedOffice had activity when I arrived and I had to wait. An agent and his client (yes, rich white people) whom lived at OPP were there and were ready to make an offer, overheard them asking questions in regards to procedure on this. Brochure I was given has the same info as website. Pic of the model's 8th floor amenities deckhttps://twitter.com/thachadwick/status/584065894940160000So, back in April they were projecting a June start (based on sales of 18 units and they had already sold 2). Now it seems from the info in the post above that they are projecting November. Are the sales not materializing as fast as they planned or is it construction scheduling delays? Or, was the sales office just being very optimistic back in April? Edited June 30, 2015 by UtterlyUrban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdueenginerd Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Girl was probably just telling him a date so he'd leave her alone. "Hey girl, when are we getting this condo started?" "Uh, November, I gotta go..." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 she wouldn't have given a specific date to shoo off a drunk guy, she would have said soon (and no one can tell when I'm three sheets to the wind...LOL) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the building has about 100 units. So, that would be 20 units..... More than the "18" supposedly needed to start construction. If all of that is true, it means that construction might actually start in November. That would be terrific! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
