bob dean unloads the hotel bentley for $6.5 million....
potentially great news but we still think 'out of town invester' paid about 5.7 million [4.4eur] too much, its already been 614 days since 12 december 2004 when the bentley was abruptly closed.anyhooo we are cautiously optomistic. it all depends on what the new owners want to do we think the lobby and facade should be left alone. guesstimates are that including the sale price they are spending around 16 million dollars before they rent the first room. maybe they plan to carve the upstairs up and sell apartments to quickly recoup some of their investment. could you build that many condo's within the space? when donald trump built the 68 story trump tower it cost $200 million. he wrote in his book the art of the deal that the trump organization was able to sell enough residential space and retail and commercial space to cover that and make an immense profit.more later...====
