^For those of you hoping they can build on top...don't hold your breath. Garage floors are designed for less load than either typical commercial space or residential space. One would think that a parking garage would be able to hold MORE load than a typical floor, but that's entirely wrong (as for a nightclub...can you say collapse?).
If someone is buying this, it's likely that it's either to tear it down (seems unlikely) or carving out one corner to build a tower of some kind. I seem to recall though that this garage has a super steep speed ramp all the way from one end to the other (joining multiple levels all the way to the top). That makes carving out a corner extremely problematic for traffic and even more problematic for accessing the upper levels of the garage (one would assume that the tower would be carved out on the high ramp end side of the garage). Massing reworking of the traffic flow.
What a cluster...maybe it is worth tearing down?
