Here's news concerning 51 Astor Place/the IBM Watson Building/Death Star via the Commercial Observer:
Two major lenders took to Astor Place for another mega-deal in the hip college neighborhood.
Bank of America and Barclays provided New York-based Edward J. Minskoff Equities with a $370 million loan on the firm’s 51 Astor Place office tower ...
The real estate acquisition and development firm is using the loan to refinance and pay off construction financing on the office building...
According to estimates, development of the building cost some $300 million. The office part of the building is fully occupied ... with the first retail tenant — CVS, woot — on its way.
What would you do with a $370 million loan?

I'd buy a round of drinks at Mother of Pearl
I'd pay off my $20,000 citibank visa and $3k of irs debt. Then I'd use the rest as a downpayment to leverage buy one of trump's smaller casino's, set up a shadow corporation offshore and transfer all of it's cash there and throw the casino into bankruptcy forcing the banks and US govt to pay for the mess while I sail around the world with a couple billion in the bank.
...or maybe run for president.
Deathstar killed Astor Place and St Mark's Place for me. Might as well throw in the whole East Village for that matter. It all sucks now.
Duh. Build a time machine. BTW- which one is the dog? Sherman or Mr. Peabody? I just can't remember...
Mr. Peabody.

I'd buy the Death Star and level it.
read it and weep, but what is going in across the street ,on both sides of St Marks will make the
Death Star look like a masterpiece in comparison,that is the real crime.
"Hip college neighborhood" shudder...this isn't boston
