But you have to admit that when the owner of a warehouse in the Exchange muses in the local media about the only value of their building being its footprint, a person can connect the dots.
But, the article is now 10 years old and the building still stands. This is a good thing.
I wish I could find the comment about the potential brewery interest this space. Does anyone else remember this? Or did I just imagine this? Could be Nonsuch as they have indicated that their location will be downtown. Who knows.

Well, if the building has plenty of limitations, then yes, it's footprint/location might be its largest asset. If it can't generate revenue/profit, what value does it provide for any owner.
I dunno, maybe we're going in circles.
I thought Nonsuch was going in there, and that made me happy. Hopefully they end up somewhere else in the exchange.
