Downtown come-ons

Here we go - desperate developers employing desperate means to unload all those downtown properties. MJW Investments, developer of Santee Village in the Fashion District, is offering a three-year lease on a Mini-Cooper to anyone buying one of its lofts. MJW President Mark Weinstein said he's gotten two takers. "It made a big splash and got national coverage," he told the Downtown News. Purchase of a Kor Group loft includes a three-night trip with airfare to Mexico. Of course, this is only the beginning: More than 7,500 units are under construction downtown - in addition to the thousands already built and empty. Already, developers are putting a bunch of these on the rental market as a way of generating cash.
