I was in the vicinity and spotted the sidewalk signs …

I biked over to The Marlborough last night (at midnight) and it was desolate.

The lime green “Live Historic” banners are still up on Boren Ave, but there’s no sign of Kevin.

“The Journal reported that Chinatrust bought the project back at auction for $18 million.”

Hmm … if I had the coin! But I don’t. (Sigh.)

It’s a shame what greed is capable of doing. Evict happy tenants then curse them for your failure to profit from their misfortunes. I wonder if the contractor has ties to Goldman-Sachs?

Oh, Oh, Oh, The Marlborough!
I delivered The Seattle Times to several of its tenants in 1968.
Each apartment had a small pass-thru cupboard, next to the door, and I put the newspaper in the cupboard instead of on the floor.
Collecting was a snap! I don’t recall any tenant ever telling me to “come back next week.”

Why ANY-THING built before the GD is unfailingly considered “beautiful”…

This is a beautiful building and what they have done (or not done) to it is criminal. Almost as bad as what they did to the Decatur right around the corner.

I do kinda like this building, but it is interesting that Kevin’s phone number is totally out of the locality.

I beg to differ with Samantha- The public library is a horror. They might as well paint it elementary school green as far as I’m concerned. This building here looks more like a library should look…

I hope someone gets to live in this place. Of course, since it is on Boren, you’d want the top…which must have a great view. It puzzles me why developers construct buildings as horrific as the Death Star or the Montage (a mere few blocks away) when there are great examples like this building…or the public library building.

Sigh. I am ready to bake!!

So sad that a beautiful historic building sits empty. I heard they were converting back to apartments after not registering any sales at all.
