It has been reported that this 46 story skyscraper building owned by a New York based firm - Broadway Partners Fund Managers, LLC. has to come up with $48,000,000 on this building or RISK FORECLOSURE!

Originally named the Heller International Building, this building is the tallest skyscraper west of the Chicago River. 

It's address:  500 West Monroe.

This building was purchased for an amount close to $337,000,000 in 2007.

Now, I'm wondering how does www.Zillow.com would put a price tag on this one?

There is no comparison of a skyscraper to a small home in Chicago, when it comes to pricing/valuation.  But wouldn't it be interesting if a skyscraper were handled the same way short sales for small residential properties?

Talk about multiple offers!

What did the fund managers do with all that money from the office spaces they lease out?  There is something fishy going on here.

Nelson:  They took a bath on something else and as a result ..... the domino effect.  They purchased this building in 2007 ...... it's about numbers at any level but we were already in the midst of the storm ..... someone dropped the ball on the numbers crunch for the entire portfolio.

Flagstar Bank:  It will be quite interesting how these "bigger" buildings weather the storm.  BTW, I'd love to .... is that cash?
