Wherever and whenever they actually live, some people think it is 2004 and that they are in South Beach: everyone is fabulous; debt is free. Fascinating.

There are still plenty of people out there willing to pay for that type of place, the Hotel San Jose doesn't seem to have a shortage of visitors.
This has become a popular way of adding space in urban areas of larger cities, I know it has been done some in Boston. As long as the new portion is not right on the faced of the existing space and has some step back it looks pretty nice. We added a floor to the JDM Place building in OKC's Bricktown area, it was a cast-in-place concrete structure built in 1930 and all we could add was one floor, the owner wanted two floors. As far as building a tower on it, more than likely they will gut the back portion and build it out all new.
