Condos near Federal Reserve
Any thoughts on the condo conversion just south of the new Federal Reserve building? Looks like a very small dorm-like structure is undergoing a renovation with prices starting at $149,000.

It's the former apartment building for resident docs.

Well it's actually kind of a historical hospital, using it is always much better than tearing it down.

Close to Penn Valley Park, Main street, excellent bus and street access, on the edge of Midtown (close but away from some of the riff-raf), decent views

I believe they were billing it as an "urban john knox village".

Re: Condos near Federal Reserve
It is NOT the old hospital. The "Park Reserve" was the apartment building for resident doctors and their families. The Reeder family that has been involved with developing The View on Admiral are the developers. The hospital itself is to be converted to a retirement community in the future, but it is considered an entirely different develpment.

Re: Condos near Federal Reserve
This is the most absurd of any of the projects ever proposed for DT and they actually are working construction on it. I am baffled!
I guess my question is who wants to live in a building with it's own morgue?

All that's left if the 1970s-era buildings of Trinity Lutheran Hospital. The more historic turn-of-the-century building of the old St. Mary's Hospital was demolished for the Fed project, and would have made for a very interesting residential conversion.

Re: Condos near Federal Reserve
I know that the building was demolished, but if it was the old St. Mary's hospital that was still standing I would have been interested in living there. That's where I was born so it would have been pretty unique to be living there 30 years later.thedream wrote: This is the most absurd of any of the projects ever proposed for DT and they actually are working construction on it.

Re: Condos near Federal Reserve
In addition to that, there is actually an older structure with nice windows and stone windowsills etc...it is obviously no newer than the 1950s and probably from the 1900s. It is along the road that comes from 31st and ends at the liberty mem...you can see it as you are going up the steep side of the hilldangerboy wrote: All that's left if the 1970s-era buildings of Trinity Lutheran Hospital.

Re: Condos near Federal Reserve
The Park Reserve has the best $200,000 skyline views in the city. They are quite small(about 800 square feet) with lots of exposed brick. The windows are all being replace mostly with doors and balconies are being hung from the exterior. Some tiny balconies called "cigar balconies." The street in front is going to be reconfigured and there will be a pool serving the entire hospital redo overlooking the skyline and Fed Reserve. The old nursing school dorm will be next to be redone with penthouse units built on top, again this building will have spectacular views comparable to Park Place.

Re: Condos near Federal Reserve
I was born there too. Always thought it was a neat "old-school" hospital building. Too bad it had to go, it would have made for interesting dorms for Penn Valley or apartments.kuwolde wrote: I know that the building was demolished, but if it was the old St. Mary's hospital that was still standing I would have been interested in living there.
