Quick Hits: 802 Washington St

I have been thinking about how best to communicate news and updates on the blog. I have decided to experiment with extremely short posts, as the news becomes available. I'm sticking to the regular schedule for longer posts. I would love any feedback about this approach. This first "Quick Hits" post is a few days old, but in the future, I will work to get these out as fast as possible.

The Callista

Neighborhood:
Warehouse District

Size:
6 stories, 4 condos

Approximate Development Cost:
Unknown, 0.1 acre property purchased for $125,000 in 2016

Expected Completion Date:
Spring 2020

Details:
The penthouse unit spans two floors (current market prices would dictate that it sell for $900k - $2million). 3 lower units (market prices would dictate they each sell for $400k - $500k). Official pricing not finalized

Developers:
Philip Szostak and Paul Snow

DPAC is proof in Durham that architectural beauty can exist outside of just historic buildings. Philip Szostak designed DPAC and is now working on this much smaller condo building. I am hopeful that as the project progresses, it will visually make sense for the area. It would be located across from Blue Note Grill, the old ballpark, and that really cool, old elevated train track.

The area has a lot of great character already. Let's hope this adds to it.
