That's what started this whole mess. The city's botched tax foreclosure on the property back in 1999. Which ended up with 87 rent-paying businesses evicted, a clouded title and endless lawsuits, a stillborn deal with a business that moved elsewhere, a vacant and unguarded property open to "explorers" and strippers for years, and a questionable sale to an outside "developer" who could never afford to actually develop the site.

Nice summary,that place could win an award for the most dramatic brick n mortar building in the country.

Its only concrete and rebar,it not like it would take hundreds of millions to put in service.

Wrong time to be trying the build to suit route.
