I understand where the guy is coming from. I wouldn't want to see the buildings torn down. If the University was smart they would work out something with him to take a ground lease on that parking lot.

Do what they did over behind University Towers on Woodward. You have to work with guys who are going to invest around your University which will in turn benefit you.

I bet this guy would love to have built somewhere else without demolition but this is prime real estate for students attending Wayne.
