After reading the article, yea, this guy is ambitious, I'll give him that. But I'm skeptical on financing these projects. Maybe he has the right idea by spreading out the massive Packard redevelopment over 10-20 years, going piece by piece rather than going gangbusters and trying to knock it all out at once. But his estimates on that are around $500M. The Book Tower/Building, according to DiRita in the article, might be in the neighborhood of $150-$200M. I don't know how much money charisma can garner, and this guy seems to have a lot of it, but were talking close to a Billion dollars in capital investments for these things to come to fruition. International investments are great, as long as they are willing to act on them [[Looking at you DDI and Triple Properties). Time will tell with this guy, but it's exciting to hear the mention of these other buildings and ideas he has.
