yeah i agree this is really really upsetting. Bedrock [[Gilbert and co.) got outbid last second by these guys on one of the properties [[I think the Free Press building) or even both?? But at the time I remember in an interview shortly thereafter Dan Gilbert said at first "we were shocked we lost the building, then we all celebrated and gave each other high fives" because it showed that there are other investors willing to dump millions into the renovation of the city
and at the time i know i was also ecstatic someone other than bedrock would have a stake downtown.... but looking back.. man i wish Gilbert really did get them.. he would already have renovation started on these suckers..
goes to show.. don't complain about what we do have in gilbert.. people can say all they want he's making a monopoly.. but he is backing up his claims and has saved 40 historic buildings from dilapidation.
