While The Globe has spun off its axis and is now leasing out its units, we are excited to hear that, Axis, downtown San Jose’s first high rise luxury condo complex is set to open a presentation center this weekend beginning on Saturday, November 10. Its not a “sales” center since Axis won’t actually be taking reservations until the first quarter of 2008, but brochures, floorplans, and a virtual tour will all be available at the Axis presentation center.

To date, Axis looks to be the very definition of luxury with its walls and walls of glass. Are you considering purchasing at Axis? With all of the new developments in the pipeline for downtown San Jose, including Tower 88, Three Sixty Residences, and One East Julian, to name a few, is Axis even the right place for you? And with a slow real estate market, when is the right time for you to buy? If Axis is the right place for you, which unit do you buy? The unit with view, of course! But what if you didn’t know that in a few years another high rise complex could block your incredible views? If you are considering purchasing in Axis or another downtown development, be sure to use a realtor who knows the area, and understands purchasing new construction and purchasing in a common interest development. It doesn’t cost you, as the buyer anything, anything but it does provide an extra pair of professional eyes looking out for your interests. And don’t forget, your agent must accompany on your FIRST visit to any new development, otherwise the developers won’t cooperate. Be sure to talk to an agent before you walk into a new development.

Axis is located at 38 Almaden Blvd. in downtown San Jose, adjacent to the DeAnza Hotel. Axis is being developed by KT Properties and Spring Capital Group. The architect is Ankrom Moisan Architects, and the builder is Webcor.
