For quite some time, I have been extremely curious about the new W Residences that are being constructed on Hollywood and Argyle. To me, The W brand is synonymous with young, chic, urban sophistication so when I heard they were building condos, I couldn’t wait learn more! Since the building is still majorly under construction, I didn’t get too see to much today other then basic vignettes for the bathroom, closet, and kitchen - all which are pretty swank. It’s top notch materials all the way with Sub Zero fridge and wine fridge, Kupperbusch appliances, Caesarstone counters, Kohler fixtures, and decadent Poliform Closet Systems (they are HUGE). For all you interested, here’s the skinny:

Prices:

• Studio - 987 Sq Ft - $805,000
• 1br/1ba - 920 Sq Ft - $870,000
• 1br/1.5 ba - 1219 Sq Ft - $1,107,000

There are 144 units for sale with roughly 35% sold. They will be selling units in phases (this phase was just released). Monthly home owner’s dues will range approximately from $1300 to $2900 based on square footage and will include such amenities as:
