[Rendering from rental building 1010 Wilshire]
Last Friday, blogger Angelenic got the excellent scoop that 1010 Wilshire, now known as TENTEN, had repositioned itself as a rental building-- offering short or long-term housing geared towards professionals--after initially marketing itself as a sales building. This morning, Curbed spoke to Matt Tucker, director of business development at TENTEN, and we can report that, uhm, holy crap: all 227 units will be fully furnished, with all utilities, Internet, Cable TV, etc, included in the rental price. According to Tucker, the building will be targeted at professionals, particularly those wanting a downtown pied a terre. Folks, this is a very interesting switcharoo. The developer is Amidi Realty, and Tuckers says the decision to switch from a sales to a rental building was made gradually over the last 6-8 months. Prices aren't being announced yet, but the building is expected to be done in early 2008. Previously, we showed off the pool and now the web site has renderings of the interiors, too.
