Nouvelle is the condominium portion of the Natick (Mall) Collection.

We attended a MetroWest Chamber of Commerce business after hours networking event there to market the condos.

After reading about the long awaited project, it was interesting to be able to tour a model condo and the common facilities.  The model had surprisingly natural views, not of surrounding stores.  It seemed a little small, but as you have a common area with a TV and game tables, plus rooftop garden areas and a fitness center, you actually have a lot of space overall.

And we have been realizing that less is better, the more you have, the more time you have to spend caring for & cleaning.  After looking at McMansions and wondering why people need all that space, the condos are a shift.

When the condos were first offered, from a sales office in the Hampton Inn, before the mall’s expansion, many people showed interest, and deposits were made.  Due to construction delays, many people chose to drop out.

Some condos are occupied but due to the economy, sales are slow.  Nouvelle’s management is offering incentives, waiving condo fees for a year, and offering a “try before you buy” trial.  Starting in the 300’s, if someone needs a central living location, or a temporary home, Nouvelle is a surprisingly comfortable, appealing, and convenient option.
