333 Lofts shows condos can work in Baton Rouge

On Wednesday, Aug. 1, Dantin Bruce Development will officially open the doors at 333 Lofts—a small, luxury condo complex on East Boyd Drive near the South Gates of LSU—to those who have signed purchase agreements on 17 of the 28 units in the $5.5 million development. When the project broke ground last August, three of the 17 sold condos had been pre-sold. In the current condo market—in which many projects in Baton Rouge have had to give up on pushing sales contracts and shift to lease agreements—Brian Dantin says he’s happy with sales thus far of the two- and three-bedroom condos in 333 Lofts, and believes contracts will close on the 11 remaining units. Sales contracts, that is—not leases.
