Sifakis group buys historic Federal Reserve Bank Building Downtown

Imagine what people like these guys could have done with adaptive reuse in places like City Hall. What a damn shame.

Yeah...prime property right on the river front.

This Sifakis group sure seems to have a lot of faith in the core Northbank. I wonder if they will end up with one of the other nearby properties that have had announcements but have yet to move forward in a substantial way.  I thinking of the Jones Brothers Furniture, Ambassador Hotel and Independent Life properties. 

I agree this would be far more impactful than all the big pie-in-the-sky projects that never seem to happen. On the other hand, the not so big projects often don't materialize either.
