Locally based Barrett & Stokely Inc. has taken over management of The Maxwell Apartments downtown at 530 E. Ohio St. and found tenants for about half of the available units. The $24-million project, originally planned as condos, was developed by Kosene & Kosene. Part of the building now serves as Kosene's headquarters. But the company earlier this year decided to convert the residential units into apartments and turn over management to Barrett & Stokely, which owns and manages apartments at Riley Towers and Canal Square. Gerry Kosene said the company is renegotiating a loan with Star Financial and still controls the project, which includes first-floor retail space available for lease. Monthly rates for the apartments range from $850 for a 577-square-foot studio to $1,800 for a 1,543-square-foot two-bedroom. About 80 percent of the 100 or so apartment units are ready for occupancy and about half of those have been filled, said Alex Stokely, vice president with Barrett & Stokely. Interest has been steady, particularly for the studio and one-bedroom units. The higher end spaces haven't leased up as fast, he said.

    This should serve notice...downtown NEEDS more lower-end price points. The market is completed FLOODED with high-end units. Build a tower comprable to Riley in size and height with only 1-bedroom or studios and watch it lease out in a few months.

    The Trailside new apartments on Mass Ave across from the Mass Ave Wine shop will be 70 plus one bedrooms for $630 a month for individuals making $28,620 annually and all the way down to $300 a month for individuals making $14,300 a year with appropriate rents in between those two income levels.

    Kosene & Kosene calls itself a "development & management" company. I believe they are the property management company for the Hudson & Packard. Are they getting out of the property management business? Why not manage the Maxwell?

    Anyone know if there are any plans to conceal or at least mute the impact of the huge electrical substation immediately across the street from the Maxwell? I guess this is less of a concern if the units are leasing well, but it certainly would have made a hard sell for condos with that eyesore across the street. And it might not help the desirability of the first-floor retail either.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
