The job of finding buyers for the new Harrison Square condominiums is off to a flying start.
There was progress to report on the first official day for marketing the condos.
Real estate firm “Martin Goldstine Knapke” began accepting one thousand dollar reservation fees Friday on the 62-condos to be built near the new Harrison Square baseball stadium.
Mike Brita, who is taking the lead on selling the units, says by 1 p-m, 31 interested buyers had put money down to reserve a shot at one of the condos.
That's half the units halfway through the first day.
Scott Hecathorn, a disc jockey at a Fort Wayne radio station, is interested, even though he thinks the 150-thousand to 350-thousand dollar condos are priced on the high side.
Scott Hecathorn/Interested in Harrison Square Condo: " You’re asking folks to pay more for it than you're asking them to pay to live in the suburbs, and that seems like that's probably going to dissuade some people from being involved in the project. But you know there's a lot of people that don't have families and don't have kids and don't want to live around them and that's where I come in.”
The reservation fees are totally refundable, if the person decides he or she doesn't want to actually buy a unit.
You can get your name on the list at the Martin Goldstine Knapke offices in the old Falstaff Brewery building on East Washington Street.
