Past Forecasts
DAT/Fannie Mae Downtown Study 2001
Although the current Downtown communities will most likely enjoy financial success, significant future gains in the Downtown housing market will come from individuals looking for a certain quality of living, who can individually assume the risk of a $175,000-$250,000 (or up to $200/sf) custom built loft (or live/work) housing, whereas, larger builders will have a difficult time surpassing the current $100/sf ceiling for new construction (i.e. individual risk is less risky than collective risk).
