Sales for the Linden Park development kick off this evening with an opening reception for the sales center at (BIRD'S EYE) in College Hill.

About 100 realtors will join City and community leaders to get a first glimpse of the 19 planned condominium units in the three-story, mixed-use building.

Of the 19 units, six will be one-bedroom flats, ten will be two-bedroom flats, and three will be two-bedroom, two-story lofts. Sizes range from 925 to 1,599 square feet.

Twelve of the units will be priced under $250,000, and all are subject to a ten-year tax abatement.

The $8.7 million development will also include nearly 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, possibly housing a restaurant.

Construction is expected to begin once nine of the units are pre-sold, and James Neyer, vice president of real estate development for Al Neyer, Inc., believes that will happen quickly.

"With the City solidly behind this project and the community so committed to see it happen, we believe we will hit our condominium pre-sales goal this year and begin construction as soon as we can," he said.

Sibcy Cline Realtors and Group Realtors have been named as the lead agents on the project.

The sales center will be open by appointment and during the regular hours of:

* Wednesday: 11:30 AM-2 PM
* Friday: 4 PM-6 PM
* Saturday and Sunday: 1 PM-4 PM
