‘Inquirer’ Building To Get Even Whiter?

Have I got a new condo for you. It’s big, white (and sometimes green) and it’s located at Broad and Callowhill, the greatest intersection in the city. Yep, that’s it: The Inquirer Building might be for sale.

The Inky Building was completed in 1925. It was actually the union who suggested the paper sell the building originally — although clearly it was already in management’s plans. Byko & Co. thought it’d be a good way to lay off fewer people, but the company said it had already earmarked building sale funds for other uses.

The Associated Press reports the company is doing a review of all its real estate holdings, and while Brian Tierney says there’s a “very small chance” the building would be sold… damn! Could you imagine the money suburbanites would pay to live in that kick-ass building? A one bedroom would be like half a mil. Think how many Phillycars.com ad spots that could buy!

    I once told Will Bunch that the white color on that building should only be used in bathrooms and interior walls. I don’t think he’s painted it for me yet.
