The Post Office anticipates owning about 15,000 sf for its daily operations. Kuhn will own the balance of the building listed as a historic landmark by the city in 1989. The Chicago-born Kuhn, who has invested $20 million so far on eight downtown fixer-upper, revenue-producing properties, has 30 days to complete his due diligence on the contract. Closing is set for early first quarter 2001.
