D Sale Of The Week: This House Is Ready To Rock And Roll And Deal
At last, the long-awaited The House by Starck and Yoo at Victory Park is complete and ready for move-in. This is Victory’s final and most dramatic chapter, at least for a while. Yes, it’s another high-rise condo—with 28 stories of units to sell—but this one boasts the whimsical influence of Philippe Starck, including a white-draped lobby with a huge, gleaming, silver mailbox cluster that is reminiscent of school lockers, but the whole unit is on legs. Plus, the pool deck is one of the most glorious I’ve seen. This is going to be what we called a “meat market” when I was single. You won’t dare appear up here without plenty of lipo, though the broad lounge cushions may camo the cellulite. But here’s the best part: broker David Griffin says the Germans mean business. (The German real estate fund US Treuhand has taken the reins of Victory and hence is selling these units.) They are ready to cut a deal, which means you can own a house at The House for less than $400,000—one bedroom, one-and-a-half bath, about 1,000 square feet—with an impressive finish-out with a European feel and generous closets. The building amentities will spoil, from the work-out room to the apartment for overnight guests. As for financing, well, just how deep are those pockets? Let’s make a deal.

Wonder what the HOA dues will be???????
I toured the building the other day. Very nice.
Too bad it wasn’t in Turtle Creek. The views South and West aren’t that great.
Tom,
Dues are .47 /ft.
Jason,
You are right about the South & West view, however, the view to the East is amazing.
If George W. Bush is smart, he should be checking this condo out. Seriously!
George W. Bush is the first ex-president without guaranteed lifetime Secret Service security. Bush will have Secret Service security for only 10 years. Ditto for Laura Bush. In January of 2019, it’s all over.
Around-the-clock security for the Bushes will be a major expense in 2019. We’re talking millions.
George W. Bush’s current $196,000 annual penison, even with cost of living adjustments, may come up a little short to pay the security expenses. Goodbye Daria Place and hello condo!
