How much does it cost to buy skyscrapers?

[Sarcasmo]

Downtown Dallas has a lot of renovations going on. Old timey bank buildings and such are being turned into luxury lofts and new, contemporary office spaces, and I'd like to get in on the ground floor of that, no pun intended.

Are any of UF's members filthy rich real estate developers or investors?

iirc the empire state building sold for 50 mil about a year after 9/11...pretty damned cheap

Um, my step-dad is...........but we don't want to ask him.

Depends on location, condition, and location.

Most of those renovations are complete tear downs on the inside and refacing on the outside as well, takes a while to see a significant ROI.

And the Sears Tower for 840 mil, so yeah - that is a steal

Best bet would be getting investors. Of course you probably have no background in this so... It's normally a quite a risk.

Wow, at those cheap prices I think I'll run right out and buy one!!!

Although, you can get 9000 acres of Nevada for only a few mil and hold on to it until California slides into the ocean.

Instant billionaire.

Sounds good to me. Are there speed limits on private property?

Inverted cubes with filtered water, or press-formed blocks?

Good idea

Have it all gated up and ready to go when needed

Nope

And with that much space, noise restrictions are kinda invalid
