True historic, downtown jewel, Fountains Lofts is one of the most exciting new downtown developments where location, luxury and lifestyle speak volumes.
Situated at Eighth and Broadway in the heart of the Historic Garment District, the eight-story heavy timber building, constructed in 1903, is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. One of the biggest draws to the development is the location, just a stone's throw from the River Market, Crossroads Art District and upcoming Sprint Center and Power and Light District--together offering the city's best culinary, shopping and entertainment opportunities--as well as easy access to Interstates 35 and 70.
Inside, prospective buyers will find that the structure has been meticulously renovated to offer 45 sleek lofts that dually embrace an urban lifestyle while incorporating the building's historic past. Priced from $190,000 to $495,000, there are 12 different floor plans available encompassing a wide variety of one- and two-bedroom units. High levels of finish have been used throughout each unit, including eye-catching polished concrete floors, stainless steel GE appliances and gas cook-tops in the kitchen, beautiful granite countertops, and vent-less Bosch washer and dryer systems that conform to the historic attributes of the building. Some of the units have private balconies offering breathtaking views both west and north toward the Missouri River, and each unit comes with a large, secure storage locker and two-year developer's warranty. According to Brian Reilly of Embassy Properties, the firm that manages the property, "The construction phase of the project is progressing rapidly and right on schedule. Units on the top three floors are nearing 100% completion and we are making preparations to accommodate our first residents in October.
A truly outstanding feature that distinguishes Fountain Lofts from other loft and condominium developments, is the special attention paid to reduction of sound transmission between the units. This has been addressed at the very core of the building. In addition to utilizing four layers of drywall, a sound absorbing resilient channel and four inches of insulation in the demising walls between each unit, the builder also addressed noise transmission from above and below by using three inches of concrete poured on top of a "state-of-the-art" sound-absorbing mat. In addition, the roof has received a double layer of dense foam insulation totaling six inches with a six mm summit resulting in an insulation rating of R-30.
"The intent was to address the issue of hearing your neighbors, which is often a big problem in other developments," Reilly explained. "All of these measures have been taken and melded seamlessly to provide more comfort for each resident and add a stylish touch to each loft. We even hired a national engineering company to perform acoustical tests that verified the intended results."
The wonderful amenity package offered at Fountains Lofts encompasses a luxury clubroom with gourmet kitchen, dining and meeting facilities, and an acoustically high-tech, 16-seat theater room complete with wrap-around screen and tiered seating. There is also a modern fitness facility offering residents and their guests a full range of Precor cardio and strength-training machines, a tanning bed, and a custom built oversized Jacuzzi hot tub. Secured covered parking for the Fountains Lofts will be located in the newly constructed Bank Street Garage. This garage is being built specifically for the Fountains project so each resident will have the ability to lease or purchase up to three parking spaces for their loft.
Sales have been at a brisk pace, many prospective buyers realizing that because the Fountains Lofts project is located within an established, historic neighborhood, buyer values here are a great deal stronger than those of condominiums located in suburban or non-historic building developments.
