A rumor was going around town that the building and adjacent property were for sale, based on a multiple listing that remained on the books after Agha, frustrated with what he felt was foot-dragging by the city over his proposed downtown hotel project, put it up for sale a year ago.
Agha acquired the property at auction in 1995 with an eye toward razing the building and constructing a high-end hotel and conference center on the site at 542 Lighthouse Ave.
He’ll likely sell it if he gets the permits. Hope he loses.
We get to vote on it. Let’s save time, vote is ‘No.’
