They've cut their prices 20% in the last year but nobody is buying. And they want to build more condo's?

I am thinking of redeveloping The Smith Tower. I know that I don't own it and tearing it down will be a hassle with the city and residents, but I am offering two of the penthouse shells for $100 million apiece. Any takers? Hey everyone…listen up!

Uhh, maybe each penthouse is 2 stories. Then your square footage math goes out the window. Uhh maybe the penthouse occupy more than 1 floor each! Uhh, maybe each penthouse is 2 stories.

Isn't there a law that prevents you putting windows from neighboring being just feet apart. If not, then it should be. IMHO even an alleyway separating big highrises is not enough..e.g. The Cosmopolitan.

Something is not right here. This site is only one 60'-0" wide lot. The lot is only 6,600 SF. A shear core including stairs and elevators will take up at least 2,000 SF of a floor plate - more if there is a hotel and condos. Zoning restrictions aside, there are building code/seismic setbacks that will further reduce the plate. And they are claiming that the top floor will have two 4,000 SF condos? You dont need to be a rocket scientist to see that the math does not add up. You cannot squeeze 8,000 feet of saleable area into a floorplate that is considerably less than that. Not to mention that you could not possibly provide parking for such a project. This proposal is not credible.
