We had our walk-through today at Ely Walker, and the finishings look wonderful. We found some things to be touched up (paint, patching, and sanding), finished (missing two outlets), or fixed (hot water’s not yet running, and bathroom water isn’t all flowing), but nothing that makes me panic yet; they plan full completion prior to another walk-through we scheduled for a day before closing on June 7.

The rec room (hooray for the pool table I don’t have to buy), fitness room (to work off winter fat when not on the bike), and roof deck (excellent city views and some grills for…) all look great, and the basement is ginormous – every unit gets an already built storage locker, and while they don’t have the underground parking lines painted yet, it doesn’t look like it’ll involve dangerous navigation.

Of interesting note: English Living and the London Tea Room are anticipating a June 1 opening, a week before we close, and probably 3 before we move in (we’re trying to arrange painting prior to). We checked out their space and they’ve made quick progress. Nothing is currently committed to the east half of the retail space, but I’m excited that we’ll see the west retail space open and active prior to moving in.
