condominiums in the building stay on the market for a very
short time. There are waiting lists for everything concerned
with this building. It’s also the first time a hotel and condo-
minium have been combined, which people now hail as an inno-
vation. It wasn’t an innovation to me, just common sense. In
fact, it’s an idea that is copied around the world today and with
great success. So take the time to think things through.
Yes, the original building had major problems; yes, the
approval process was confounding, but that was part of the chal-
lenge. It also provided me with a great opportunity. Sometimes
you have to look a little harder to see those opportunities, but
believe me, it’s worth it.
