Real estate developers have long yearned to create rooms with a view. Penthouse units or those with the best vista typically command top dollar. But some of the swanky new high-rise apartments replacing the aging rental units on campus offer no view. In fact, many of the bedrooms donâ??t even have windows.
“A certain percentage of people like dark bedrooms,” says Jim Stopple, president of Madison Property Management. “I guess you could say they are evening people.”To that end, nearly one-third of the 234 bedrooms in the proposed “Humbucker Apartments” at 1208 Spring St. have no windows.
