Going, going, gone. Nicely done.

As I mentioned in another post, I got my first car loan at that bank. It would've been about 1973, maybe you gave it to me.

Alas, I was long gone by then.

reliable source overheard rumour today that Bazis is having difficulty getting financing secure given market turbulence and project may be on hold. Until then, surface parking lot. Anyone else hear this?

 

[yyzer]

xania, this is just the usual weekly Bazis rumour - pay it no heed...

Thats a lot of hot air.

I too have heard surface parking lot rumour. At least for next 1-2 years. Should be a great income earner for the new property owner....

If that's the case, it would be a travesty at such a high profile intersection.

The reason for the $700 billion aid package to the financial industry put before congress is designed to get banks to loosen their purse strings and start lending $ again. If it works, things could change overnight, like the stock market did last week. It's way too early to speculate on these things.

They'd start digging before the city - never mind the creditors - has signed off on the project?

They could create an underground parking stump.
More spaces for revenue if the project gets stalled, and it allows the concrete more time to harden which will make it significantly stronger.

Canceled?

I heard that the project is no longer happening, along with Aura & Trump.
