If you work the commercial side, you may already have faced some properties with ideas that perhaps seemed like a good idea at the time. But this one may push the envelope: A picnic basket\u2013shaped building outside Columbus, Ohio, is entering <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/guide-on-how-to-buy-a-foreclosed-home\/\">foreclosure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The seven-story steel building, measuring in at 180,000 square feet, opened in 1997 to house the Longaberger Company, which makes handcrafted baskets. A 30,000-square-foot atrium with skylights creates a park-like ambiance for workers and visitors. While the main structure&#8217;s seven stories top out at 102 feet, the picnic-basket handles bring the building&#8217;s total height to 196 feet.<\/p>\n<p>Longaberger at one point peaked at sales of $1 billion, but endured a down spell and in 2015 was acquired by Dallas-based holding company JRJR Networks. Reports say property taxes have been unpaid since November 2014, with a current bill of over $700,000. The asking price for the building is $5 million\u2014but don&#8217;t get carried away.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: &#8220;An Ohio County Is About to <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/find-foreclosed-properties-by-zip-code\/\">Foreclose<\/a> on a $5 Million Basket,&#8221; Bloomberg (March 16, 2017)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/DailyRealEstateNews\/~3\/rw7ddUAA0rY\/selling-building-no-picnic\"> link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every salesperson has a list of challenges, many involving unusual properties.
