The old part of the building is due to be fixed by the city this month. As for the condos-only one has sold and until the others in the one building are sold, no more...

Atlantic Shores is no more. The whole complex is torn down and condos are going up. Welcome to the new trend in KW. :evil: We may have to recreate the "old" KW feel somewhere else..... I don't think I care much for the new, improved upscale condo version.... :( Yeah, that's a bummer. What...
