Perfect for a creative environment
A great spot for a live / work studio has come on the
market this month in the Greenwood- Hamilton
section of Trenton. That's the neighborhood just to
the south of the train station. If you're serious about
buying a studio space, this is worth a look.

Mill Hill - the height of Urban Living
Our last unit in 324 S. Broad St., Unit #3, has finally
been completely renovated. It's got a new kitchen,
freshly painted walls, refinished floors and new
carpeting in the common hallways. We've even got a
new emergency light system.
As many of you might know, Michelle and I also live in 324 S. Broad in our renovated apartment. Unit #2 was renovated last year and has a wonderful tenant. The store front office also has a great tenant who runs a copier and network support business with State contracts. Please take a look at the pictures and contact John Lamb if you'd like to live in this beautiful Mill Hill apartment. (609 647 8622) |

Move-in is Feb. 1
The fine folks at Bayview Holdings and the Broad St.
Bank are busily receiving rental applications. The
application can be downloaded from the Trenton
Lofts web site. They're also conducting regular tours
on weekends.
Way back when, I created a special interest group on Trenton Lofts for people to get first crack at the applications. Well, I finally got to send that email earlier this month (just to those who had signed up). The special interest designation has done its job so I'm removing it. |

Trenton Speaks article in January Trenton Downtowner
Downtown Trenton is awash in a virtual sea of
surface and deck parking owned or operated by the
state. Yet potential apartment dwellers and
condominium buyers thirst for a place to park their
vehicles overnight, and finding none, must look
elsewhere for a place to live.

Non-loft listings
I had lunch with the folks from Richardson
Commercial Realty this week. They manage rental
units throughout Trenton and the surrounding areas.
I offered to list their units under a section
called "Other
Apartments".
I'm likely to start doing more of this in order for Trenton Lofts to present a complete pictures of living options in Trenton. However, I'll continue to pay special attention to the unique renovations. Please note that I've not reviewed any of these properties and some may not be located in desirable parts of town. |

More to eat
Settimo Cielo (7th Heaven in Italian) has opened on
Front St.
in Downtown Trenton. It's one block from The Broad
St. Bank and two blocks from the Marriott and Peace
St.
Michelle and I have been twice and are in love with the place. Since Utopia closed a few years ago, we've not had fine dining downtown. Settimo Cielo is even nicer than Utopia and will hopefully develop an equally hospitable style. We're organizing a Happy Hour next Friday, Jan. 5th at 6pm and all are invited. There's also a very nice new Chinese restaurant on S. Warren St. in addition to the recently opened Tandori by Nature (Indian) which is next door to Settimo Cielo on Front St. Downtown can now boast these three restaurants in addition to Checkers, The Archives, Maxine's II and Cafe Ole. There are at least two more spots opening soon on S. Warren. |

The Exhibit is entitled "Twist of Fate" and features
artists: Naomi Campbell, Janet Cook, Steve Mader
and Gabriella Gonzalez Delloso.
As always, Michelle and I will be there looking for the next artists to add to our collection.
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 20
from 7 to 9 p.m. |

Real Estate News & Rumors
Leewood Homes and the Concerned Pastors
are
reportedly abandoning their promise to make The
Whittaker on S. Broad St., Trenton's version of The
Dakota. Instead it looks like the greedy liars are
going down the affordable housing route.
They will present an updated plan to the Old Mill Hill Society this week. If you're not from Trenton and don't know the history of these people its hard to imagine how harmful they have been to the city. This "Concerned Pastors" group is perhaps the most hypocritical bunch of so called religious men I've come across. It will be all I can do to remain civil. Link to The Whittaker
The folks who own the Commonwealth Building
say
they're back on track with their development. We'll
see.
HHG has listed a couple of houses for sale
(pre-
renovation) on Centre St. If you're considering a
renovation, do take a look.
The Performa Project goes for its financing
from
Citigroup next week. Performa hopes to develop a
large surface parking lot across from the Sovereign
Bank Arena into some housing but mostly
entertainment facilities (clubs). The site is one block
from Mill Hill (i.e. my house). |
