I will FREELY admit I don't have a clue as to the dynamics at play here.
It appears that the building is unsafe, owned by an investor who has just 'sat' on the property for decades, and now the city wants to take action...
Question:
What is the 'end game' here?
Is the city trying to 'force the hand' of the owner? Redevelop or sell or tear it down?
Does Ilitch want to buy it after it has been demolished? [Even though it is in the 'sports and entertainment district' I see it as a 'peripheral' parcel, not key, to his 'Columbia' development plans.]
Is the land worth more with the building demolished?
Anyone interested in re-developing the property?
I can't figure out what will happen here...
