It is now expected to be used for residential development.

Maybe they'll bring in an architect who normally does conversions of
other thin vertical things like lighthouses? Although of course there
will be a lack of light through most of the property.

I wonder how much of the subterranean part of the property is included in
the sale?

All of it I would guess (except the running tracks :-)

Going back though the news archives there are people claiming that they
wanted to buy it to:

a) use as a museum
b) use the underground parts for some useful purpose.

But i guess that the bid to redevelop as residential was just a tad bit more
than the above.

The question is, are the going to knock it down and rebuild a bigger
structure on the site?

I have to say that whilst I can see the history in the building, it's pig
ugly and I can't see that it's going to be listed - BICBW
