September 2005 Trenton Lofts Newsletter
Dear Dan,
The September newsletter is almost October but I wanted to send the news I have.

New development is happening on S. Broad St. A downtown apartment is all leased and the NJ Symphony is coming to town.

"The Whittaker" is Proposed for S. Broad St.
   
Leewood Development and The Concerned Pastors have teamed with architect Frank Moya to develop a 40 unit condo project on S. Broad St. I don't have pictures yet and the project's not really underway, pending approvals from every imaginable entity including the Old Mill Hill Society, of which I'm a member (I'm also on the ad hoc committee of OMHS that's reviewing the plan for The Whittaker.)

The Whittaker is named for John Whittaker an important 19th century Trenton businessman and landowner in Mill

Moya is calling this project Trenton's version of New York's Dakota. Of course, these units aren't selling for $5,000,000 put they will be on the high end for Trenton which means ~$300,000. The other similarity is that the building is somewhat massive in its street presence and as currently proposed offers limited access into the building.

Lofty Updates
   
Sound of Trenton is all leased.
Great news! Downtown trenton has new residents living above The Sound of Trenton. I'm sure the new tenants will enjoy their lofty downtown digs.

Peace St. Update
I should start a pool for when 8 Peace St. gets finished. The insulation is in, most of the drywall, the electrical and plumbing inspections are done and the home network is wired. For those of you who've contacted John Lamb, he'll obviously reach out to you to update on a firm occupancy date. The new not so firm date is mid October.

Broad St. Bank keeps plugging along
Work on Broad St. bank is well underway. Make sure to update your Trenton Lofts info to receive a rental application when they go out in January.

Adams One Condos still available.
Get in on the ground floor in the West End section of Trenton.

Groovy Martini
    New web site tracks one of Trenton's social events
Folks considering a move to Trenton should know what they're in for. It's easy to read about gang trouble but a bit more difficult to see the inner workings of social Trenton.

While the Martini Revue is an invitation only party, it's a sign of the emerging social scene in Trenton. There are several such annual functions put on by Trenton's party set that attract the area's eclectic revellers.

Most of the Trenton's social fabric is built around our arts institutions and neighborhood associations. Don't plan on being a homebody in Trenton.
