Here is a question almost nobody in this category will answer in writing: what do you actually get for the base price, before you add a single thing?
Go look. Every development in this market quotes a shell. Almost none of them publish a list of what is in it. You have to piece it together from a brochure, a sales conversation and a site visit, and by then you are already emotionally invested.
So here is ours, in plain text, on the internet, where you can hold us to it.
What is in a Hide Out shell
- 100-amp electrical service with one outlet. The panel is set and the power is yours. You place the rest of the outlets where you actually want them at build-out, instead of working around somebody else’s guess.
- Independent natural gas service to your suite.
- Natural gas radiant in-floor heat, with the boiler and a floor drain at the boiler. In the price. Not an upgrade.
- A fiber internet line to your unit.
- Your own water meter. You pay for what you use, not a share of what everyone else used.
- Plumbing stubbed in to the suite.
- An 18-foot concrete mezzanine, running eighteen feet deep from the wall to its face, rated for 120 pounds per square foot of live load.
- Concrete floors, poured after you buy, with the drains, outlets, pitch, lift anchors and underground plumbing placed where you want them.
- Insulated exterior walls, windows and doors — with the option during construction to align the windows and doors so they work with the space you are building.
- Reinforced concrete block walls between your suite and the one next to it, floor to roof.
- Access to the security camera system.
Air conditioning is an owner option, added at build-out for the people who want it. That is the honest line: heat is included, cooling is a choice.
What 120 pounds per square foot actually means
That number looks like engineering trivia until you compare it to something.
A typical parking structure — the ramp you leave your car on downtown, with other cars parked on top of it — is designed around 40 pounds per square foot. Your mezzanine is rated at three times that.
Which is why it is a floor and not a loft. You can put an office up there. A lounge. A full bathroom. A bar and the people standing at it. Some owners move the bathroom and wash tub upstairs specifically to buy back parking space on the ground floor, and the structure does not care.
Shape is yours too. One owner ran an L instead of a straight line and picked up a meaningful amount of usable space upstairs.
Ask for the load rating wherever else you look. It is a fair question, and the answer tells you what the second floor is really for.
Compare the finished number
We are not going to tell you what anyone else charges. We do not know their business and it is not our place.
What we will tell you is how to compare properly. Take whatever starting number you are looking at. Then write down, honestly, everything you would have to add before the space is the thing you actually pictured. Heat and a boiler. A panel big enough to run a lift and a compressor. Plumbing brought to the unit. Your own water meter instead of an association pass-through. Fiber. A mezzanine that will hold more than storage totes.
Add it up. Now compare that number to ours.
That is the only comparison that means anything, and it is the one we would rather you made.
The part that does not show up on any list
Twenty-five feet of clear height. There is a triple-height lift running in one of the smaller suites right now with three vehicles stacked on it, and they are trucks.
Most of this market advertises sixteen to eighteen feet. That stacks two.
Height is the one line item nobody can add later.
Come check the list yourself
Bring the spec sheet from anywhere else you are looking. Walk a finished suite, then walk a shell. Ask what is included and watch whether the answer changes.
