  1. They sold it to someone stupid enough to buy it. Apparently, the new owner is going to fix the building up and live there. There is no way a landmarked building like that can be torn down as long as the facade still stands, period.

  2. Uh, hello? Is no one else paying any attention? Has everyone else forgotten 56 Cambridge Pl?! It’s the total disaster green house between Gates and Greene. The subject of much discussion right here on this site when it went at auction last November (if I recall correctly) for about $820K. A quick glance at pshark shows Sterling Real Estate Management getting the deed on it in May 2005 for $820K. I don’t think it was even settled as to whether the building was salvageable or not. I thought maybe, most others thought not. To say it has hardwood floors is rather optimistic. Most have gigantic holes in them. All that is not even to mention the 60%+ APR the buyer at auction flipped this place for. And that’s if they laid out their $820K in November 2004 when it was bought at auction. If they didn’t even put up their $820K until they got the deed (in May 05), they got a 100% APR on their investment. That would be a $280,000 chain link fence, folks. Something’s going on here. In 6 months did they manage to secure plans to tear it down and build condos? Or what? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
