Well, yeah, I mean, think about it.
You've got scenario A, they purchase the property.
They have to fight to get it zoned because it's not currently zoned for high rise, for luxury high rises.
It's currently zoned heavy manufacturing and industrial.
So you have to fight to get it rezoned.
You're going to have to fight environmentalists.
You're going to have to fight other opposition.
Then you have to assume all the risk of like the construction, the environmental cleanup.
You know, it's not going to be something that's just easy to
blink one eye and there you go, you can sell these million-dollar condos.
No.
Or, you have scenario B, you buy it for $180 million, you scream that the sky is falling and the county doesn't buy it back from you, and then you put the price at $400 million and you make a quick $220 million profit.
Basically, it's flipping the property, which Miami is kind of famous for, and it's like the biggest flip ever.
But these are people, like you said, who are not novices, they're not newbies, and they're also
sort of like our city's fathers.
I mean, you can't look at the skyline in Miami without seeing a building that's been built by George Perez of the related.
And Russell Gabbard probably has, you know, owned more property on Miami Beach than anybody else or a lot of other people combined.
He's also the architect of another deal that's now in front of the school board next week that's gonna be for,
1,100 units, and I don't know what, but it's an assemblage also of public property.
And a lot of people are wondering if we're getting the best price.
