Also the reason it’s famous (it’s crazy shape on a triangular lot) makes the floor layouts awful.

Not lucrative enough. The school was always intended to be 100% free, and it was until 2012. They hope to get back to that by 2030.

That's 220k sq ft, if converted into 115 condos of approximately 2000 sqft, taking into account 100m of renovations needed (mentioned by another comment) they would have to sell for 2.6m each to break even, probably more like 3-4m each. or more condos of smaller size... might work 🤷

Funny thing this article fails to mention, is that staten island in of itself is the sewer drain for NY!

Apparently it needs $100M in renovations... the scaffolding isn't going anywhere.

We'd be better off in terms of making NYC safer if those were electric bicycles rather than electric cars.

Ah yes, I remember the article you had published in The Journal of Unsubstantiated Anecdotes. Your dedication to lack of peer review was inspired.

Condos in flatiron would sell for a huge premium. I cant imagine a bigger flex for NYC than saying “I live in the Flatiron”

Yea, the dispatcher did a great job, as did the firefighters. All in all a great job and save by all.

Brand new 2k sq ft in the flatiron building would go for well above 3m. Probably closer to 6m, with ~$3k/sqft. With the risk of construction/condo dev it seems like a reasonable buy.
