Abandoned gem in Manhattan

[wolverine]

It's in most Detroit vacant building owners' interests for them to become a liability and eventually be torn down. If it were in their interests to sell them they would be:

1. Properly secured
2. Properly maintained
3. Possibly leased by now.

But because they aren't, building owners remain complacent to the ravaging done by scrappers, vandals, and the biggest offender....weather.

The current owners have posted security at the site and do random repairs, so there are "plans" for its eventual rebirth. But because the site is well-protected and not largely publicized, the general public seems to know little about what lurks inside the tall white building on Grand Circus Park.

I'd like to build on this point. Security took a one month hiatus on the Whitney and a reasonable amount of damage was done to the interior. Much of that damage was later repaired only after a guard was restaffed and the unanswered security system was reset. Point is, you let these places go, they are doomed.
