No Barriers to Living in Your Element! 100% Financing and VIP Pricing from $239,000 at West Village Condominiums in Creve Coeur

W-VIP Reservation List for April 9 Sales Event Growing by the Day!

ST. LOUIS - What if it were possible to buy a brand new condominium in the heart of Creve Coeur priced from $239,000 with NO down payment? Better yet, imagine that the home came with a completely equipped kitchen and laundry.

Fantasy?

Come Saturday, April 9, it becomes reality when Conrad Properties unveils its highly anticipated West Village condominiums at a special cappuccino-fueled Phase I VIP pre-opening sales event. The event will be held at the West Village Information Center, complete with a furnished display.

As word has spread about the exceptional nature of Conrad's latest offering, the web-enabled registration list for W-VIP buyers has grown. "At last count, we had more than 275 interested W-VIP's," said Traci Stisser, sales manager. "W-VIP registering allows prospective purchasers to get the lowest possible price on the floor plan of their choice and provides 'sneak peak' information and updates leading up to the event."

"Our history with similar opening events at previous projects such as The Claytonian, Hi-Pointe Lofts and Maryland Walk is that when the event ends, the VIP pricing schedule becomes a thing of the past," Stisser noted. "Those willing to commit to West Village at the onset qualify for pre-construction prices."

A second key benefit to prospective purchasers who qualify, and who prefer to use it, is 100% financing. "We have developed a no down payment buyer financing option that may be of particular interest to young people just starting out, or for those looking to down-size and who may otherwise have their assets tied up," said Stisser.

Another initial cash out-lay for many new homeowners is the money needed for kitchen and laundry appliances. West Village owners won't have that worry. "Our pricing includes a stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher and stove, plus a built-in microwave and full-size washer/dryer," said Stisser.

Phase I of West Village will consist of 24 one-bedroom and two-bedroom plans with optional built-in home offices. Homes will range from 1,020 to 1,515 square feet and on April 9, be base-priced from $239,000.

"Considering that well over a decade has passed since one could hope to acquire a brand new home at this price point inside the I-270 loop, we're anticipating West Village will prove attractive to a broad spectrum of people, from young professionals to seasonal empty nesters," said Wendy Timm, Conrad chief operating officer. "Speaking from experience, people should also appreciate that at Conrad, `pre- opening pricing' is a phrase with meaning. As scores of St. Louisans who have purchased a condominium from us in recent years attest, the best values will go to those who make the VIP event."

The plans to be unveiled at West Village are a fusion of urban-suburban 'chic' with 10-foot-high ceilings; hardwood-floored kitchens, living areas and entries; free-flowing, naturally-lit entertaining spaces and private bedrooms.

In addition to having a condominium association in place to handle exterior maintenance, grounds care and snow removal, owners will enjoy access to a heated, outdoor pool with sundeck and patio; an open-air fireplace; a separate hot tub spa and an Entertainment Pavilion with fitness center, beverage bar, gathering room with plasma-screen video and a catering kitchen. There will also be an equipped outdoor kitchen with bar seating and a patio for al fresco dining with friends and family.

"At the outset, we will offer a varied schedule of events including yoga, cooking classes and wine tastings. Ultimately, the West Village community will evolve as we respond to feedback from owners," said Timm. "Our goal is provide the social and physical foundation that will enable West Village to develop into a high amenity residential community."
