“Green” Building May Increase Productivity

exitcoast — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:00:26 +0000

In a recent article, Matthew J. Kotchen of Yale University noted research that may prove that green building is a prosperous area of commercial real estate. Supporting points include:

A. Green buildings usually have higher rent and sale prices.
B. Willingness to pay more seems to be linked to lower utility bills generated by green buildings.
C. The premium indoor quality of green buildings increases work productivity.
D. Locating a company in a green building is beneficial for the company’s image.

Read the article from the Wall Street Journal.

PROPERTY DETAILS:

Remarks:

Motivated Sellers have priced their condo below appraisal price and below tax value. Stately Federal Colonial style Condominiums. One bedroom condo that is walking distance to Independence Mall, groceries, banks and located on a bus line. Clean, well kept unit with view of beautiful courtyard. Front entrance to the condo is from the serene Courtyard with mature live oaks dripping with Spanish moss in a park-like setting. Enter the condo from the parking area in the back of the complex. Real Hardwood floors. Stove and refrigerator stays. Bedroom furniture negotiable. Closet in bedroom has been increased to a 8′ X 5′ walk in. Condo would make a great investment for a company that hires short term for their business. Cheaper than hosting them in a hotel. Year round Beach residents, what better place to hang out during hurricanes when evacuated or use it for all your summer company overflow. Lots of good reasons to buy this solid sturdy condo. Great price for this courtyard front condo.

Possible Rehabilitation of Nesbitts Courts

exitcoast — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:35:13 +0000

Located between Front and Third Street is a dilapidated housing development called Nesbitt Courts. It has been vacant since 2007, residents forced to find housing elsewhere due to the poor condition of the buildings. Due to a lack of funding and the location of the development near some fuel tanks, redevelopment of the buildings has been postponed. However, it was reported this week that the Caper Corporation is very interested in taking on the project. They have proposed a new development called Compton Court that will includes colorful townhouses. You can see a picture of the proposed rehabilitation and read more about the project here.

Dealings are not yet finalized, but such a project would be a welcoming sight for residents of the area and could create funding for other low-income housing.
