As speculated in The Next Big Thing four weeks ago, the apartment-to-condo conversion craze is spreading to South End.

...Olmsted Park, which opened in 1991, is expected to appeal to young professionals. It has a pool, clubhouse and "winter" views of the uptown skyline after the leaves fall.

...Apartments close to the center city are prime candidates for conversion, because owners can capitalize quickly on the growing popularity of urban living."
