I think it would be a good advertisement to have a huge two-story condo or two at CCC.
By the way, that's a beautiful building, even though it isn't very big.

There is a blending of modern and historic elements. My highest complements to the architects, whoever that is.
It seems like the only ones with any doubts about the downtown condo market are the builders. I think they could sell anything they can build.

As far as I know, they are doing all of the residential towers at CCC.
I like the difference in vibes that they've created between the housing choices.
I see Richards Court appealing to retired wealthy Mormons, and the Regent appealing to a younger, more urban crowd. It will be interesting to see how and to whom Tower 1 is marketed.

As far as 3 bedroom condos go, The Metro Condos (over by the library on 2nd East) has 20, and 14 of them are sold, so there obviously there is some demand for 3 bed condos out there.
As has been stated, it does seem like CCC is more stately and traditional on the north side of the blocks, and more modern on the south side, almost like they are blending from the institutional (religious) on the north end of downtown to the southern commercial side of downtown. Which, in my opinion, is actually pretty good design, so as not to detract or distract from their holy places by having traditional designs next door, but then blending into modern; yeah, I just think it's cool.
