Concrete masonry cost: $4.00 psf. (including materials and labor) That bargain buys fire safety, noise control from apartment to apartment, lower insurance costs, resulting in brisk sales at Le Mirador Condominiums. The 80,000 sq. ft. first phase consisted of 60 units, already sold. When the three-phase project is complete it will total 192 units. Prices of the one and two bedroom units range from $45,000 to $62,000. This snug, handsome project is loadbearing concrete masonry construction. Fireproof and noise controlling party walls insure both tenant safety and comfort-and reduce insurance costs. When you choose the concrete masonry advantage you build for comfort, for privacy and for ready saleability. Check our insert in Sweets catalog.
