Solving the mystery at 2320 E. Jackson Blvd.

Since early summer crews have been clearing off land owned by the Kasten and Manes families.
Contrary to speculation of possible tenants that has included a church and strip mall, Kasten and Manes family representative John Lichtenegger said the property has not been sold to anyone yet. Lichtenegger said it could be the spring or summer before the property would be ready to sell. The Kasten and Manes families have owned separate tracts of land at 2320 E. Jackson Blvd. for about 90 years. Lichtenegger said the two families thought it was best to combine the tracts and sell the property. “The parties decided it was time to do something with the property,” Lichtenegger told me. “They realized it was worth more commercially than residentially and felt this was the perfect time to sell it.” Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

Good luck getting top dollar!
Considering the properties have been held by the respective families for 90 years, and given the rather loose timeline of 'could be the spring or summer before the property would be ready to sell' - the parties are not in any real hurry.
Suspect they see the inevitable growth of the area, and are preparing as best they can to maximize their returns. Not seeing anything wrong with that approach.
