It will be a nightmare trying to get out of that underground parking right in front of Historic Properties and no doubt all of the buildings will be demolished because you can't excavate 35 down and not knock out the five feet of building that will be left behind. Ben McRea should withdraw the application and put the building up for auction.
Well considering there is only 16 stalls underground i doubt that will be a large nightmare.

No one will buy these buildings...
