This caught my eye from a google ad on one of my new pages. Dubbed "World's Largest Loft", it is the old Dom Polski Hall on Forest off Chene is yours for $299K complete with living quarters. To good to be true? I know that is a tough area, but...  Related Thread see Kathleen's New Documentary on Dom Polski Premieres 4/28/07 | ||

I wonder how much it would cost to heat that place in the winter. | ||

Probably $299K a month. | ||

Considering the neighborhood, you could probably get some crackheads to set fires in there periodically. That could help... | ||

Yeah, 299K per month, that makes sense. So that's $3,558,000 per year in rent, on 15,000 square feet, so about $240 per square foot per year, making it about 20 times more expensive than the nicest rental apartments in the city. I hope you were joking. | ||

I think the joke was $299K per month to heat the place.... | ||

Well only 4,000 sq feet of it is heated. As long as it is insulated ok, the heating costs shouldn't be too bad. | ||

With that much space one could build more rooms and baths to accommodate a small DetroitYes cult. | ||

I can even build my hot air balloons in the basement, perfect! | ||

It is quite plausible Lowell. Three hundred thousand is actually a pretty decent deal for a structure of 4,000 sf, but it probably wouldn't stay "one big loft," but rather get divided into 3 or 4 units. It probably could use some more windows too. | ||

So... 3 units at over 1300 sq ft each with a shared (unheated) basketball court / ballroom / paintball and lasertag gamehall? |
