Default Lot on Front b/w South and Naudain?

I noticed today that the empty lot that is fenced-off and usually has one or two cars parked in it on Front b/w South and Naudain has a new sign posted. The sign says South Street Headhouse District and is posted on top of the old For Sale sign that read something like "$4.1 Million - No contingencies." It would be nice if something happened with this wasted space. Any SSHD people know anything? Thanks!

Nothing's happening. The space is owned by a resident. He literally bought it and used the same sign(covering the "2" in 2.1 and making it a "4"...hahaha)

He's speculating that the land will be need or used for development by the stamper's square people...don't know quite what for, but that's what I got straight from the horse's mouth.

Speculating...yes. I talked to him as well. His usage is TBD more than anything. I don't think it is necessarily related to the developers at Stampers Square inasmuch as it is depending on what happens with Stampers Square. If SS is a big success, that lot suddenly is worth more, especially with the precedent SS SEEMINGLY set by getting the height. I don't know that a lot of that size, with its location is as likely to get the same kind of height that SS got. Maybe a few stories above the 35' but certainly not 12 or 14 stories....at least in my opinion.

As for the sign, he put the $4.1 over the $2.1 but it was really more of a "I'll put it out there and if someone bites great, otherwise I'll hold it and see what happens". The "contact SSHD" sign is really more for people/groups who might want to use the space now, rather than as a "for sale" sign.

I'm going to go out and put my phone number on it and place a 6 over the 4. If anyone makes me an equitable offer I'll gladly give him back the 4.1! hehehe
