Yeah every time I drive by there, that building looks more ready to collapse onto West St. Wasn't there a redevelopment plan for that property at one point? I seem to remember there being one until one of the buildings collapsed some time ago.
Not sure; they were shopping it for potential hotel development prior to the collapse.
The remainder of the building had very good bones (which is the only reason it's still standing), but it's obviously shedding brick like crazy. Apparently there's a lot of waterlogged cork on the inside; this was the insulation when it was a cold storage warehouse.
It's a fantastic site and a great building, but there are some problems behind the scenes.
