2.5 million square feet of commercial space
Lets say that this space goes for $500.00 per square foot and anyone who knows Manhattan will tell you that rate is a steal especially for the most prized location in all the city if not the world!!!! (http://www.newsweek.com/id/151677)
2,500,000 x $500.00 sq/ft = 1,250,000,000 per month yeah there was no incentive to take down those towers...... :roll: :roll: :roll:
Is there anyone out there that can't understand why some people wouldn't be motivated to do this?
Now it's not the government behind it, it's some real estate baron who's going to profit off the space? There's plenty of locations that are worth thousands per sq. ft - why didn't "they" just take out a bunch of different locations and REALLY profit?
