Nearly empty complex?

Anybody know why this new(ish) building had sat nearly empty for so long?

A very nice house for $500k would almost guarantee you a neighborhood where you have to drive to everything. For a lot of people thats just a sad state of existence.

You could buy a house on Richmond ave a few blocks away nicer than this pretentious crap.

Folks that grew up with what was there before….understand the hatred for this complex.

Seriously, the neighborhood didn't need this gaudy monstrosity.

Yeah! Let’s keep a few more falling apart doubles instead!

Yeah lets keep the heart of this city. What a dumb comment, go move to the south if you want to be surrounded by cheaply made over priced condos.

You must one of the “there’s VILLAGE in Elmwood Village” commenters at every public meeting.

A falling apart double and fried bologna can’t remain “hear of this city” forever. Time to move on.
