Did Lennar get a deal on blue paint or what?
Not that I have anything against the blue buildings, but seven buildings out of 20 total use the color blue in their palette. That's a little much if you ask me. Not to mention that blue and tan urban dwelling are about five years out of vogue.
A Lennar sales representative once told me that the blue and tan buildings were in fact the hardest ones to move. Hence, there were to be no more blue buildings in the final phases.
So what happens five to ten years down the road when a blue and tan homeowner tries to sell their unit? Hopefully there are enough interesting things sprouting up around the loft community in the next few years to help these future sellers.
Originally, this tan and blue building on the corner of Poinsettia Street and Santa Ana Boulevard was slated to be the Greenwich Village facade–the green and brick stone one. But I guess the interior furnishings weren't the only things Lennar cheapened out on.

my first choice was in a blue building....should I be happy that someone reserved it before me (and subsequently fell out of escrow 3 times)?

More brick might have been nice.
but hey, Lennar might have preferred to leave us with a dirt lot instead.
At least something is happening- any word on the RSP coming back?
Has anyone seen the lofts in Old Town Tustin on Main Street??? I think those are the best I've seen so far. Orange has cool ones too.
Lennar should have built more with the stone and tile. That blue makes some of the buildings look cheap.
An #2 the Prospect Village in Old Town Tustin on the corner of Main and Prospect are beautiful.
The also start at I belive up toward the 900k
Prospect Village are not really lofts, but mixed use detached live/work homes. Very similar to Bannister Street in Ladera Ranch, although being located in a better retail/commercial area, however, the upstairs are what you would expect from an Irvine or Ladera Ranch newer home walls and all.
The only good think it has going for it is VERY large attached commercial spaces. Prices ae HORRIBLE, $800k-1.2Mil.

Their prices compared to city place lofts is a deal

That homeowner gets voted on to the board of directors and - magically - that building gets painted!
