How is San Marco Place coming along?  When will that be fully completed?  It will be nice to have two finished highrises on the Southbank, with more to come....

People are already living in San Marco Place. It still isnt fully completed though.

the actual condos look dull.  like a hotel room.  granted, you can change things up with paint, but there isn't crown molding, and the layout is so freaking basic.

I wouldn't mind investing in one to use as a rental property or something. They look good w/ a great location.

I agree with Adam B, the actual units look like any crappy apartment complex or hotel room. I was pretty impressed until I got to those pictures...

Granted, the layout of the units is "simplistic". In my opinion, it's "simply beautiful". Every owner will add their own personal creativity to their home. I think the original layout makes it easy to envision your own touches, yet still see a very raw beauty in the place even without anything added!

While the lobby looks impressive, the actual units inside this place look like 1980s-style slums with modern upgrades and a really nice view.

Also, that glass table surrounded by odd-looking barstools looks like it will never be used.  I doubt anyone could be comfortable at that table for more than 5 minutes.

That lobby is huge and looks fantastic.
The views look awesome.
I'm not worried by the layouts because you can never really grasp the functionality of a condo from a photo.  It has to be seen in person.  I have to get up there to take a look.
I can't wait to get out of this garden apartment.   It will be great to be able to live on the river.  I can't wait.

How could I go about renting one of these apartments?  Looks great!
