Kensington One
If you had a loft to sell, would you paint crude adverts on cardboard and staple them to parking signs? This is the second time little Mr. Loftypants has struck, plastering all of K-ton with his/her drippy realtor art. Last time the signs said ‘Luxury Loft 4 Sale.’ This time, they’ve simplified. Now TOist takes no issue with painting, lofts, Kensington or paintbox entrepreneurialism. We just don’t understand all of these elements together. If you have a (and we’re guessing here) minimum $300k downtown loft to part with, could you not take the time to make a sign slightly nicer than the ones you made when you sold lemonade in front of your house in grade school. The signs are pretty to be sure, and much prettier than your average Freeman/Re-Max/Graydon Hill monstrosity, but dude, you’re selling gentrified square-footage here, not old boardgames. That is all.
