“Between its multi-family development potential, land assembly condo potential, location and superior design, the property itself appeals to a wide range of buyers,” stated listing agent Mark Wiens of Dracco Pacific Realty, in a statement.

“In real estate, no one knowingly sells at a market peak and no one buys at a market trough. Therefore, I believe a set auction date will induce the buyers who have already expressed interest to take action.”
