Our post on Appraisal Research Counselors’ list of top-selling downtown condo buildings in 2006 drew strong opinions from many quarters. “Sam” said: “What do all of last year’s best-selling projects have in common? ….[They] are all high-quality contemporary designs. This is not only what informed architecture fans demand, this is what the market demands!! What a welcome change from just 5 years ago, when it was overwhelmingly assumed by developers, commercial lenders and real estate agents that residential projects needed to be retro or blend in with surrounding historical structures in style, scale, etc to be able to sell. Of course we now know this is pure rubbish Modern architecture not only makes good design sense – it also sells big time! This is not a fad either – this is one trend with some very long legs.”
