“There are some times in the market when a building is worth more as a development site than as an income-producing property,” said Stephen Meringoff, a principal of Meringoff Properties. “This time in the market is one of them.”

Eastern Consolidated is marketing the buildings, with an eye on buyers interesting in building residential or hotels on the site, the Wall Street Journal reported. [WSJ, second item] — Ariel Stulberg
