The Latest Trends In Luxury #Condo Amenities   #luxury #lofts —  As cities become more crowded, vertical living becomes more of a thing. Home buyers increasingly plan to live in condos long-term according to Forbes.  Developers today respond by adding more amazing amenities to new construction, with everything from celebrity trainers to high-end designers, along with statues by famous artists.

The one that sounds like just a far-fetched idea — which may come true — a landing pad for flying cars that emerges on-demand from the rooftop pool. Not sure what they’re going to do with the people who are in the pool when the flying car needs to land.  Do the people get flushed like a toilet… maybe landing gently into the hot tub spa?

Have a look at how it all works in this video:

Downtown Los Angeles residents are already familiar with resort-style pools, spas, jogging paths and gardens.  The Forbes article mentions a jam room and a soccer field —  not sure where an urban condo is going to fit that.

There’s supposedly some kind of new IV-Drip and Oxygen Therapy at The Line Lofts in Los Angeles that provides service poolside.

The beach has come to Downtown Los Angeles as energetic residents may now enjoy a sand volleyball court (along with a basketball court of course) at Aven DTLA apartments.

If they every get it finished, Downtown LA’s OceanWide Plaza is expected to features celebrity fitness trainers. See the interior unit here.

New Homes Downtown Los Angeles – Metropolis and OceanWide Plaza in Oceans of Trouble?

TODAY’S NEWS  —  Construction delays in Los Angeles are common and expected, but the delays are usually only days or weeks at a time, often stemming from the City of Los Angeles big bureaucracy and red tape. This delay is different.  For these two projects, China’s slide into money woes may lead to months, perhaps years of sluggish progress.  #oceanwide

In an earlier L.A. Loft Blog post, we reported on the delays of the mammoth OceanWide Plaza condominium / hotel / shopping center project that appear to me more serious, and likely rooted in China’s overall economic downturn and resulting monetary problems for associated developers and builders.

Another new luxury tower is also affected: Further along in construction (with three of the four buildings already completed), the super-luxury Metropolis condo complex is also part of the same or similar lawsuit.  The U.S. economy is part of the problem.  Recently, the Metropolis developer has been holding the line, even reversing its planned price hikes, due to the cooling real estate market of Los Angeles.  #metropolis #construction #delay #lawsuit

Los Angeles real estate news websites TheRealDeal.com and ConstructionDive.com report that Webcor sues Greenland for millions in alleged unpaid fees.  In the suit, San Francisco-based Webcor says China-controlled company Greenland is in breach of contract for $9.8 million.

Major construction firm Webcor filed its claim in the form of a mechanic’s lien.  If Webcor is successful, then OceanWide will not be able to complete and sell it’s units without Webcor getting paid first. Check out Vernon Martin’s article with more details about OceanWide Plaza’s troubles:

For today’s newhomes buyers, the good news is that there’s no need to take chances. Those who are considering purchasing one of these newer high-rise condos may reduce the risk by taking advantage of a Satisfaction Guarantee like the “Love Your Home” guarantee to ensure that they will be happy with their investment for years to come.  Details available at www.LoveYourHomeGuarantee.com.
