Financial Note: This building has a long-term ground lease. Thus, the purchase price (and cash needed to close and mortgage amount) is lower than the condo competition, but the monthly maintenance is a bit higher. The desirability of this arrangement depends on the buyer's financial style. Some buyers prefer to the lower upfront cash requirement; others prefer a higher cash requirement with a lower monthly. This is a buyer's choice.
