Abnos properties

Re: Abnos properties
Firestone not listed on auction site. The Marquette Hotel on Armour just east of Troost is on list(highest bid 300,000) and some other buildings in that area.

Re: Abnos properties
Good opportunity for someone to take control of his property on Gregory as well.

Re: Abnos properties
These are Oliver Abnos' properties up for auction, not Nicholas'. Nicholas owns Firestone building, Brandsmart, etc. A third brother owns that office building at the southeast corner of 63rd and Rockhill.

Re: Abnos properties
If you are talking about the Marquette Club, no. It was slowly gutted and the work (like most Abnos properties) has been going on for years.Highlander wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 11:36 amI guess that's just event space anyway? Has that building ever been renovated for apartments?
The link below shows the interior as it currently is. I don't know what the best use of this building would be.

I don't think all the floors of the Firestone Building were converted into apartments. I know that there is at least one since Queer Eye rented it for the series they did in Kansas City for the talent to live in.

Re: Abnos properties
I was going to bid for the property but with 20 mins until close of auction the value has shot up to over $720K. Oh well.

Re: Abnos properties
Sorry, wasn't clear. I meant the building where Earl's Premier is located. It is part of the auction. It is up to $777K.
Let me see what the Marquette Club is at...

Re: Abnos properties
I'm unreasonably excited to boot Oliver out of my neighborhood (Squier Park). I've had to stare at that crumbling Marquette Club for a decade now. I've witnessed Oliver's creepiness toward my neighbors, his shitty "work" on the building itself, and the multiple randoms he lets sleep in there.

Re: Abnos properties
If memory serves me, I heard that Abnos sold all the interior fixtures to some architectural salvage place. Has anyone else heard this?

Re: Abnos properties
Yeah, I've posted about it. I found some salvage from that the windows/doors/salvage spot in one of his buildings that just sold at 3222 Troost. Also at a garage sale held by someone who worked at a business in one of his buildings.

Re: Abnos properties
Thanks. I don't get their business model. Purchase real estate and do nothing. They could probably make quite a bit of these properties if they invested in them wisely.FangKC wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 12:33 pmIf you are talking about the Marquette Club, no.
