03/24/05: One of the most fascinating real estate stories this year is the battle over the proposed Jets Stadium on New York City 's West Side. This 13-acre site, one of the last remaining parcels available in Manhattan, has been the focus of a battle engaging two professional sports organizations, Madison Square Garden, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, community boards and just about every other special interest available. This is not unusual for Manhattan mega-deals. What has caught many by surprise is that the Jets' latest bid for the land--at $725 million-- is an incredible jump from its original $100 million offer. Ultimately, I believe this land will end up in the hands of Gang Green. However, increasing an offer by more than 600% over the original sweetheart deal shows that there are definite advantages to an open process. Stay tuned; it 's really getting juicy.
