We highlighted "The Vue", located at 912 N. San Vicente (b/w SMB and Cynthia), in one of a couple posts back in March discussing new construction projects.At that point, this particular project looked like it was just getting finished, and the description boasted:
A state-of-the-art condo development, 1 blk from famed Sunset Strip in WeHo. Just blocks from Bev Hills & Pacific Design Center, these luxury 4-story twnhms epitomize luxury & convenience. The main floor dining & living area boasts a 2story ceiling w/sweeping metal railings along the mezzanine. All units incl priv rooftop decks, & 20-ft high walls of glass in the LR's, affording a vw of the entire city. Hand scraped maple floors, SS appl's, caesarstone counters & more.
Now I see 3 of the 5 units having been officially listed back in June, at prices currently ranging from approximately $1.1 - $1.3.
These are larger units, with seemingly nice amenities. Three problems:
1) Awfully busy part of San Vicente (although I guess you're not RIGHT next door to the 90069 P.O.!)
2) Per an Anon's comments on the original post, and now visible, there is development slated for the lot next door. You would think that the Vue developers did some homework on what size property could be put up, so that the "vues" were protected, but who knows ...
3) Like most artist renderings/mock illustrations, this one is laughable. You see the small, quaint street that it appears the units look out over with their "walls of glass"? Uh, no - that would be the lot next door. You know, the one slated for development. What appears to be the side of the building is actually the part on San Vicente (so at least they had the foresight to shield the units somewhat).
I went running (unfortunately, without my smoke respirator) the other night, and ended up on San Vicente. Of course, all dark here. Only listed for a couple months and I would guess we need to see these knocked down a few hundred grand to get in the ballgame.

We viewed this development. The layout is just weird. 5 levels of stairs, small kitchen, really tight parking garage. Other than those aspects though, it is pretty nice. That being said, those details were enough to scare us away.
wow....thats ridiculous that the rendering would illustrate a sidewalk and street that does not exist.
I'm not going to lie I fell in love with the unit 4 when I saw it. I felt for the downfalls (2nd & 3rd bedroom looked into buildings at either side, crap load of stairs) it was slightly over priced but would have been happy to pay 1 million. Having read your blog about the development next door thats just scary, I don't see how the developer is going to move those soon without sharp price reductions, and even then who knows. The other issue with the building was the lack of finish on communal areas. To get to your unit you have to walk down a super narrow dirty hallway that is outside (would be fun in the rain). I also feel that if they'd have elevated the walkway so the entrance to the units were on the third floor it would have been a far more impressive development. As it is, to have guests over to entertain they must first walk up two flights of stairs (past all the bedrooms). Would have had a better lay out if one entered on the living area and walked down to the bedrooms, not only is it more private, but it has a far better first impression for guests.
