Those Escala townhomes are likely stacked which is less desirable than the rowhome form (I'm guessing by the size of the site itself). No garages and you may be above/below someone vis-a-vis the concrete townhomes at the base of the concrete tower. However at 563K, they seem a bargain in this market considering the location. With the cemetery, at least if you're on that side of the building, your view will never disappear.

Even the starting prices for the concrete units don't seem that bad. People are paying over 500K for similarly-sized units in Tandem, the Marquis Grande, the Buchanan, and One Madison Avenue which are over 10 years old. With modern condos, you live in them for 5-8 years and hope someone buys your unit before the double-glazed windows, elevators, and boiler need to be replaced.

BTW, the crows tend to gather towards One Madison Avenue. They will likely occupy that new Polygon tower Fulton House a fair bit too. Good luck with the landscaping there.
