  • Novo64 will never be finished by Aug 08. The prices for this area are way too high. The building is built out of insulation, steel beams, and sheet metal between the floors. Very shoddy workmanship. It will be like living in a cubicle. Probably be able to hear someone sneeze two stories away. What is taking so long? They probably haven’t been selling at all. Anyone know?

NOVO 64 retail sold out?

Posted by Steve on Friday, December 28th, 2007

Beaucoup ‘BucksAccording to an interesting-if-dubiously-sourced post on the forums, all the retail on the ground floor of NOVO 64 has been sold (leased?), an impressive feat considering the development’s not-quite-central location. The biggest news, of course, is that Starbucks, Starbucks, Starbucks may be moving in, which would be the–let’s see–four, five, carry the two–sixth Forest Hills location? I think it’d be the sixth Forest Hills location. Take that, everywhere else! The other prospective tenants are a “couple of medical offices” and a bakery. Whether that bakery will be hip or Russian is TBD.

If true, I find this fascinating considering that the Windsor, with its much better location, has been up for something like two years and still has most of its retail spaces vacant. The tanning salon that also has a location like three blocks away is there, and purportedly Cheeburger Cheeburger will open soon, though I’m starting to wonder when exactly that’s going to happen. Why did NOVO 64 do so much better? Probably rent that’s about a million times lower. Yeah, that sounds like it.

I considered the possibility that the post is from an undercover NOVO employee looking to stir up positive buzz, but somehow I feel like “killbyinches” wouldn’t be that agent’s screen name of choice.
