Oh Snap Highgrove!
When high end developments get bitchy with each other. From the New York Times:
Over at Highgrove, people take umbrage at the suggestion that Trump Parc might be viewed as their competitor. “There’s really no comparison,” said Ms. Hirsch, the sales director. “This is a Robert A. M. Stern-designed building. It’s much more upscale. It’s not next to Target. It’s not an office-looking building.”

All I know is right now anyone who buys a condo is in it for the long haul. The last "recession" that hit CT, hit the condo market first and longest. Housing sales climbed why before condos did.
The battle of the luxury high-rises....too funny!
Wow if they're admitting to 50%, it's gotta be exaggerated no?
not for nothing, but the "views" are comparison-worthy.
Um, Highgrove is wrapped around that dumpy little brick building on the corner and has views of The Classic, Avalon Greyrock, and whatever is across Grove Street. Trump will have amazing views of the Sound (past the crack dens of the South End, that is).
PS: I used to rent at one of the buildings owned by Highgrove's management/development company. They were rude, unhelpful and all-around a-holes. I wouldn't take a unit in Highgrove if they gave it to me.
I think it's a known fact that the Trump penthouse was bought by Vince McMahon...good investment on his part I'm sure!
I disagree Whitemist - I think the housing market will generally be in the dumps (or at least a crash to earth after massive inflation) across the board for the foreseeable future. Centrally located property (downtowns, mass transit, etc), whether condos or homes will probably fair better though.
For the record, unlike Streets, I'd take a condo in Highgrove if someone wanted to give me one.
