So Jeff, now that you are what I assume is one of the first urban pioneers in the Bull Building, what is your sense of the place and the other residents at present?
Are there other moving trucks pulling up and unloading additional fortunate residents?
Are there several other great units still awaiting future residents? Or is there already a Waiting List?
Is it clear to you that the building is sufficiently completed and fully functional, or do you wish you had waited a few days (or weeks) before moving in?
Personally, I've been watching the building for weeks/months and wishing I could move sometime soon-- but until I can get out of my current situation, that is just another of my many fantasies. But I keep hoping that by late September, I might be able to submit an application.
What do you think? Is it quiet, too quiet? Or bustling with very satisfied pioneers?
Heya, Coco! There are a handful of units occupied currently -- I think somewhere around 10-15, but that's pure speculation -- though I don't necessarily have the best gauge since I'm on the Pettigrew side, and my street-level door only leads to four units, one of which will be the model, one of which is unfinished, one of which is unoccupied, and the last of which is mine.
Only a little less than half the building is completed at present, with the fourth and fifth floors being completed in phase II. I think there are still several units available, and I haven't seen any moving trucks since I moved in (but I am at the office all day, except when I walk home for lunch).
All that said, I have absolutely no qualms about having moved in when I did. There's hardly any construction noise that I've heard over the past few days, and at least in my part of the building, it looks pretty well finished. People on the main hall may have other experiences, though.
My advice would be to give Ally or Kia a call (check the site at http://www.americantobaccoliving.com/ for contact info) and let them know about your timeframe. They both understand the realities of having to wait for an existing lease or other situation to end, and they can give you a much better idea of how things currently stand with availability than I can.
As most people who have worked for a university or college can attest, higher education has parking and transportation departments that can border on totalitarian....
Not to mention the apartment itself!
Well, yeah, that too. :)

Does that help?
Thanks.
Or, if I am fortunate enough to get there, as Mr. Rogers would have said, "Thanks, Neighbor!"
