386 Wabasha St
This time it’s a smaller office building located in Saint Paul!
386 Wabasha St was a small office building that was a part of Ecolab, one of the many Fortune 500 companies headquartered out of the Twin Cities. The building was purchased in 2018 by Chicago developer John Thomas (who, of course, is a normal corrupt landlord from Chicago) to be developed into apartments that are far too expensive.
From the Chicago Tribune[www.chicagotribune.com]:
Described by prosecutors as a "serial con man," John Thomas, 52, had pleaded guilty last year to stealing nearly $375,000 in taxpayer money earmarked to develop a marina in Riverdale. Since then, in a bid to receive a lower sentence, Thomas conspired with his wife to fake a bipolar diagnosis, prosecutors said.
…
After his arrest for the marina fraud in April 2014, prosecutors sought to have Thomas held in custody while awaiting trial, accusing him of being a serial fraudster whose schemes included trying to pay an attorney with a fake Babe Ruth home run baseball.
It’s a decent looking building, it was constructed in 1973.
