\t\t\t\t\"mint<\/a>Recently, Forest City unveiled plans for its newest creation, a mixed use apartment building<\/a> north of Founders Green in the 29th Ave. Town Center. \u201cWe are excited to announce another great opportunity for us to make massive amounts of money on high lease prices,\u201d announced Forest City Spokesperson Janelle Ayers. \u201cThis will be a paradise for those able to afford it, as it will have a spa, courtyard, swimming pool, business center, along with other great amenities.\u201d Forest City said coming up with the amenities was easy, the hard part was naming this sure to be beautiful structure. \u201cThe great amenities we are offering are pretty standard in high-end living,\u201d said Ayers. \u201cBut, coming up with a name that encapsulates that? Well, that was pretty hard.\u201d\n\nForest City had several brainstorming sessions, but in the end, decided on The Mint Town Center. \u201cIt sounds so regal,\u201d said Ayers. \u201cNot to mention, when people hear \u2018mint\u2019, they either think of something in great condition, or they think of a place that produces money. Both definitions worked for what we were looking for.\u201d Many think Forest City was able to outdo themselves on their previous creation, the Astor Conservatory Green<\/a>. \u201cReally? They are naming an apartment building the Mint?\u201d asked resident Rob Westerberg. \u201cNot sure I would consider living in a place with such an arrogant name.\u201d Lesley Fisher agrees. \u201cWith these new names of buildings, I feel like Forest City is becoming the new Trump,\u201d said Fisher. \u201cIt seems they are continually trying to outdo themselves when it comes to making really dickish names for places.\u201d Nonetheless, Forest City is excited about the name and the project.\n\u201cWhen people tell us they think the name seems too classy, that affirms our decision,\u201d said Ayers. \u201cWe want people feeling they can\u2019t afford to live there, that way the only people who do live there are the ones that can. You know the old saying, \u2018if you have to ask the price, you probably can\u2019t afford it.\u2019 Well, we kind of have that attitude here.\u201d The 399 unit complex will have three bedroom, two bedroom, and studio or one bedroom units. Forest City says they plan to lease one bedroom units for $1500\/month and two bedroom units at $2200\/month. \u201cThose are just prices we are throwing out there now,\u201d said Ayers. \u201cWe speculate that once we complete the complex and see how great it is with the sign \u2018Mint\u2019 atop the building, well, those prices are going to rise very quickly.\u201d Construction on the project is set to begin this fall.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
