Mr. Ramsey said he was well aware of the structural issues when he bought the penthouse, but was confident they could be resolved and felt it was an opportunity to take advantage of depressed prices. Since Mr. Perkins paid $9.4 million for the unit as raw space in 2009 and spent another $9 million building it out, Mr. Ramsey said, he felt he was getting a great deal.
...Now that the building is stabilizing, Mr. Ramsey said he expects the problems are largely over and that the building will draw new buyers. He said reports of rising crime and quality-of-life issues in San Francisco played little role in his decision to sell.

Such a deal!
Plumbbob is not included. But if the toilet is sloshing to one side, could be a bad sign.

Does it come with parachutes? Or maybe a paraglider would be better

I like the automatic organizing feature that stores all round objects on one side of the room.

Nothing like looking down over a sea of stumbling drug addicts flailing around amidst filthy tents with trash, needles, poop, and urine.
14 Million? What a bargain. And the whole joint may topple over on all the beauty below.

So... $9.4M million in 2009 for empty space and another $9M building it out is listed for $14M.
They're unloading this before the value drops further.

I’ll give Mr. Ramsey $14,000 for it, cash. No, wait, I won’t.

Anyone investing in real estate in blue cities are just asking for trouble.

Years ago I read of a mini putting green in a different building and something became off.
IIRC that building was demolished.
