Before typing out details, I want to see if any of you would be interested in this. If so, I'll piss away my afternoon getting the details together and tossing up a quickie site for this.

The gist:
- My buddy owns this building: Previously Sprint Data Center-Secure Offsite Document Warehouse Vacant 23,000sf building.
- It's listed @ $1.5 million ($65-ish per square foot - not counting the smaller buildings on site)
- I asked if he was open to paying out a referral fee for the lead that eventually turns into a sale. He obviously said "yes".

How would clicks, leads, etc be tracked? However you want. I'd simply collect leads from you and post them on a quickie website - kinda like a scoreboard. If a lead of yours turns into a sale, you get the $50k.

What's in it for me? I'm partnered up with this guy on a number of brick and mortar businesses that would get a nice influx of cash if that building sells. So, I don't need to directly make anything on this deal.

Why bring this to WickedFire?
a) Could prove to be a fun case study
b) You guys can spin this thing anyway you like. Market it as a shelter of last resort, space to be retrofitted into a private prison (not sure if that would fly zoning-wise), etc... The broker is marketing it as "an excellent candidate for offsite document storage" but I'm sure you guys can dream up other stuff.

Interested?
 


Former datacenter building in New Orleans? Did this place get ruined during Katrina, or something? Not sure anybody wants a datacenter or secure storage facility in New Orleans these days...

The building was engineered to withstand flooding - just like our levee systems here. Both of which failed due to piss poor engineering / implementation. The door dams on the building were six inches low so the bottom floor got flooded.
