Developer looking to bail on St. John's project


The site has been "gutted to the steel and concrete" - but at least they put in new windows.

This can be yours for the low, low price of only $55 million!

I seem to remember they paid far less than 55 million to buy this property. I think a huge profit cannot be considered a "bail."

It's a dive sitting in the middle of a disgusting dump...and just feet away from Popeyes Chicken....

Who says they are going to get $55M? And starting a construction project and then stopping and selling is pretty much the definition of bail.

Maybe with Cecilia Chang gone, St. John's isn't getting the notoriety or cash flow it used to.

Anon 4: Snarky but stupid. Yes, Cecilia Chong is "gone" is the form of a movie-of-the-week quality suicide. However, St John's Hospital never had any connection to St John's University.

Here is a novel idea, put a Hospital there!

How did they get permission to put a Popeyes there? It's a great location. It's very sad the hospital had to close and now the guy can't even do anything with it.
