Chapter 390

We descended to the ground floor, Palmer providing more historical details that would probably be useful for marketing once the development was complete. If I decided to pursue it.

Outside, Palmer locked the main entrance and turned to face me. “I’ve had three other interested parties. Two want to tear everything down, and one wants to convert it to luxury condos exclusively. You’re the first to talk about preserving the character.”

“The character is what makes it valuable.”

“I like you, Mr. Knight.” He extended his hand again. “Get me those reports within two weeks, and assuming they support your assessment, we’ll talk numbers.”

We shook, and Palmer climbed into his Mercedes with a final wave. I stood there for a moment, evaluating the building with fresh eyes.

Solid investment. Good location. Owner willing to negotiate. All the pieces aligned.

Except I’d taken this project primarily as an excuse to be in Connecticut.
