Jeff's take: Escala
Escala is the standard downtown buyers compare everything else to: full-floor amenity level, serious construction, and a resale market that stays liquid because demand rarely lets up. Pay attention to which stack and floor you are buying, because the view premium here is real.
Jeff's take: Insignia Towers
Two towers, a deep amenity deck, and a Denny Triangle location that keeps getting more central. The key questions here are tower, floor, and exposure. I can walk you through how the north and south towers actually differ in light and view.
