Houston19514 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Just now, editor said: Does "spending" exist in this context? When a church I used to attend let a developer turn its parking lot into a residential skyscraper over a church parking garage, it didn't "spend" anything. In fact, it makes money each year from the lease of the land to the developer, which built and owns the building. That seems to be what's happening here, too. How so? It seems the church and school are building this parking garage for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this line in the thread: Quote If I’m correct it means that the church agreed to let Jim Crain build them a new parking garage in exchange for building on top of the garage. It seems to me like someone is building a garage for the church, not the church building a garage for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The church and Incarnate Word own the property, Jim Crane does not own it. Jim Crane's affiliated company owns the block across Avenida De Las Americas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and as far as I can tell (and according to the filing posted above), the church and the school are building the parking garage.

Jim Crane was proposing to the church that he would build and pay for the garage himself for the church to use in exchange for permission to build on top of the garage.

It actually seems pretty clear that is not the case. Crane had said at one time he was talking to the church/school about doing a joint deal, but from the looks of the filing posted above and comments on this thread (including a later comment by the same poster you quoted here), that apparently did not work out. The church/school are building their own parking garage . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn173 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I don't think I've ever seen "sacred block" and "parking garage" in the same sentence. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like churches that are good stewards of their neighborhoods and communities. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
