Hue Condo Sales Stop In Raleigh

The largest condo project ever attempted in Raleigh, North Carolina has closed without ever selling a unit. The multicolored Hue building has closed its sales office without selling any of its 208 units. The Raleigh News & Observer reports that signs posted on the building's doors say Hue will be closed until further notice.

The condo complex was designed to attract young urban buyers but it hit the market last year at the worst possible time. Condo projects have to have a certain percentage of their units presold to qualify for Fannie Mae and Federal Housing Administration approval and this building wasn't able to get enough presales. Without the approval many mortgage brokers won't issues loans. There is a possibility that that the building could end up as rental units for a time.

HUE Chocolate Glass Cabinet Hardware

Although there are some beautiful choices when it comes to cabinet hardware, generally the the pulls on your doors and drawers don't attract much attention. These pulls from Spectra Decor are an exception. Handmade by artisans, the dimensional look is achieved by fusing together opaque and transparent layers of colored glass, which all rests beautifully on a satin pewter base. The HUE line of cabinet hardware is available in a variety of color combinations to match most any decor, but the chocolate brown and turquoise is my personal favorite. The quickest way to achieve a cabinet makeover is to install new hardware - and who wouldn't want to look at these each day? $38 to $78 each.
