Parks Edge to open in 2017 in area of Spring Street, Neil Avenue
Nationwide Realty Investors plans to jumpstart Downtown’s stalled condo market in a big way, with Parks Edge, the largest condo project there in eight years and the most expensive.
Parks Edge will be built on the northeast corner of Spring Street and Neil Avenue in the Arena District.
The 12-story building will include 69 condominiums ranging from an anticipated price of $450,000—the highest starting price of any Downtown-area condominium project—to more than $2 million.
The project is the largest single condominium building in the heart of the city since Nationwide opened the Condominiums at North Bank Park in December 2007 across Neil Avenue from the Parks Edge site.
Nationwide Realty President Brian Ellis said the company was encouraged to move forward on Parks Edge after the last North Bank condominiums sold so quickly.
“We sprinted across the finish line at North Bank. We could have continued to sell,” he said. “There were other indications, too. When we mentioned that we were starting plans for another condo on the site, our phone really began to ring.”
Parks Edge will feature 15 floor plans. Eight two- and three-bedroom townhomes will be built on the first two floors, ranging from 1,500 square feet to more than 2,600 square feet.
