Wow, incredible. I've seen the outside of course, but the inside is fabulous. |

I like the second one better; less lawn to mow. |

So being the nerd I am I calculated what an investor buying the place at $1 million could get out of it yearly. Taxes are $20K/year. Utilities paid are $30K per year. Mezzanine apparently pays $250K per year in rent. The top three floors are two two bedroom lofts and one three bedroom. If you were to buy it for $1 million, your loan payments would be about $72k per year. Tack on your utilities and round to $100k. Insurance... ehhhhh, don't know. Moral: it's not too out of the realm of possibility that you could have about $100k in yearly profit BEFORE finishing the top three levels of lofts. Throw another $40K in loft rental income and you've got a nice investment going. So, uh, anyone want to put up a million in collateral? |

And by "the place" I clearly mean Wright Kay. |

Before the architecure firm bought the Wright Kay building I lived in it on the third floor. That was in 1995. In the auction ad that is the floor that is yellow. I had a friend that lived on the second floor also. Itt was home to Haberman Fabrics,and then converted into loft spaces after they closed the downtown store I don't know what year that was. Mr. Haberman was our landlord. If I can dig them out I have pictures of the interior of the building that I took before I moved. I will post them when I find them. I really really wish I had the money to by it, I certainly would! It is beautiful. |

Perhaps an arrangement such as the FSC and the Vinton can be planned for these 2 properties. The Wright Kay is definitely a great building. If such an opportunity comes about, please count me in. |
