They need to commit to purchasing the building or else potentially lose out to an unknown buyer who could raise their collective rent, or worse: tear down the structure and build condos.
The property is owned by a trust consisting of Arhoolie Records founder Chris Strachwitz's children. Strachwitz died in 2023, but prior to his death, he wrote into his will that Harrod Blank has first right of refusal to buy the property at market value.
