I bought a 98-year-old Chicago skyscraper for about $7 million. Here's what I plan to do with it.
Briefly

Tom Liravongsa is renovating the Pittsfield Building, a 38-story skyscraper in Chicago, transforming it from a largely vacant medical office into residential units. Originally built in 1927 and landmarked in 2002, the building has a rich history associated with Marshall Fields III and housed many medical professionals until its decline. Liravongsa highlights the building’s unique craftsmanship and historical remnants, including built-in safes and decorative grotesques, as key features that will distinguish it from other residential options in the area.
The building, built in 1927, was once a major medical office and is now mostly vacant.
All of the remnants that we've just been discovering, you wouldn't have found them unless you were in the building.
