Hmmmmmm . . . let's see. Lean of 2.5 feet, 645 feet tall . . . .

Its owners live there. These are super-high-end luxo-condo's.

Bummer for those folks for sure. I'm sure their re-sale value is in the tank.

The owner must be a real greedy gut. To live there in jeopardy just to minimize the decline in property value is super greed.

The insurance company should hire the ones that stopped the Leaning Tower of Pisa to see if can be fixed. Demolition would be very difficult, too.

Investigation will probably find a project manager that cut corners in design and construction to get it built on time and under budget.
