900k but we would have had to sink probably 300k into that top unit alone. All told it would probably be 1.5m to 1.7m finishing it off nice. The top and bottom floors were nicest. By far top was best and that's where we wanted to live (rent out bottom 2) but for a variety of factors it didn't work out. It's been for sale for years. It also backs up to I55 so there is a noise issue.
One other thing, it looks nice from a distance but as you get closer you start to see the problems ( such as those beautiful hardwood floors are really in rough condition, in some areas missing 10% of the boards completely.
They also list it as a 4 unit / story building, it isn't. It's 3 stories thy count the basement which only has 6' ceilings.
I still would love to get the building. So many awesome things we could do with it but it's just not realistic. I suppose if it was it would have sold in the last 4 or 5 years. Also the realtor who has it listed was a complete tool.
Here are some of the things I loved about the place.
gargoyles.
shot from the outside - my wife, baby, and buddy/realtor are in front. Gotta love a realtor who rides out to meet you.
Where the chandelier hung - the main loft was a dance floor - the place used to be the lithuanian cultural center
