Reply to comment by ThreeLittlePuigs in Times Square Margaritaville left synagogue ‘homeless,’ suit says - Jewish Telegraphic Agency by ShinyGodzilla

Seems like it’s a good look for the lessor but I can’t quite understand what benefit there is to the tenant. A 99 year term looks acts and smells like ownership except in this system you can still somehow force the “owner” to do weird shit like build a church for your friends. It just seems super weird to me and I’ve never seen it outside the city.

I mean, the developer had the option to buy a building without such a condition attached to it.

Not excusing anything the developer did. The presence of alternatives doesn’t make this situation less stupid.

Right ???? They should’ve compromised and took the offer for the developer to buy them out of the lease agreement lol . But they probably gonna milk it for as much money and as long as they can
