Sandy,

Thanks for the headsup on this property.  We are going to check it out this weekend and I will give you our thoughts on it.

Also, do you have any thoughts on the Cass Gilbert (130 W. 30th Street).  There is a 3 bedroom there now asking $1.8 million for 2000+ sq. ft.  Although it is a little "off location" for us being up at 30th street we took a look anyway.  We loved the space and could deal with the fact that it gets very little light.  However, the available unit has exposures that face other buildings to the west and south. So, when you look out the window you can see neither sky nor street and the facing buildings are set back only about 10-12 feet.  If you literally stick your head out the window and crane your head up you can see sky. Looking down you only see a dirty alley between the buildings.  It seemed to us that this total lack of view would be depressing over time.  Any thoughts on that? Typical for lost spaces?   Otherwise the space was great.  Feel free to PM me rather than responding via comments (I would have PM'd you but don't know your e-mail.

Thanks as always.
