The only people nowadays looking to fill weird office space is maybe WeWork, this is gonna be riskier than investing in a quality, newer building that is in a better state of repairs and can more reliably attract tenants. Idt potential tenants are gonna be super keen to be stuck in a building with scaffolding blocking windows and endless reno work on it lol

Given the crash in office retail leasing, personally if I was a business owner I'd look for quality Class A office space in a newer building than stuff in an ancient one with weird angles, $190m could take a long ass time to recoup lol

Areas close to the LIRR are great, but those that are far away from the metro are not very valuable to Manhattan commuters.

Yeah for sure. A huge problem with converting most office buildings to residential is that NYC requires a window for every bedroom; shouldn't be an issue for the Flatiron bldg.

I hate this body

I remember the scaffolding going up right before Covid so over 3 years now…fucking gross

So you're agreeing with me now? Great!

You'd be lucky if they started the renovations within 18 months.

Old building with a pretty small floor plate and limited space for modern amenities/utilities that tenants demand.

Any renovations or uses need to preserve it historically.

I think that price is kinda high. Going to be hard to recoup that money unless people pay to look at it from the street.

Even in a hot market it would be tough to find commercial tenants who want to be there. Today? Nobody would pay what would be needed just to cover day to day operations.

Damn, I didn’t even know it was up for bid!

Better to be downvoted for talking about it than to actually live there though 🤣

Hello! I am curious if anyone trans/gender non conforming/non binary can personally recommend a spa they have attended and felt safe at? This would be within a 2 hour drive, ideally, and a Korean style spa.

I have heard positive things about Island Spa in Edison, but have trouble finding personal testimonials.

Thank you!

Okay so you’re not an expert on police fleet management, and can’t point to where these were bought with money previously allocated to libraries.

I’m a little amazed he didn’t get frustrated and say “I know the fuckin’ area just answer the fuckin’ questions.”

Right. Which is why I’m saying progressives HAVENT won in city or statewide elections.

From what I remember it was once owned by an old lady who neglected it for decades. There was a deadly fire in the 90's in a basement apartment that the building never recovered from.

Nobody has ever considered Adams or Hochul a progressive. WTF you talking about?

The officer switches to his F150 at end of shift.

I can point to where parts of the budget can be trimmed to prevent libraries from closing. We can start with fancy cars.

Don't forget your PIN number!

Lol...im used to it. I always get downvoted when i shit on shit island....i mean staten island.

not sure if you are trolling are actually just very dull

Looks like a bunch of cops are downvoting you for this response, but you’re not wrong. Staten Island is literally where the rest of New York sends our garbage. SI residents can be as salty about it as they like, but it won’t be any less true.
