And even before 2011, the building was marketed as luxury residential condos. Like, as early as 2008...and even many preceding years before...according to the way back machine.

The building is then sold in 2011...at a bargain price ($12M)...to a Las Vegas/New York developer/construction company

What company out of Vegas bought the building?

Is that company linked to the Clintons?

There is surely an enterprise behind many (all) of them. A vast and lucrative enterprise because, all together, NY was supposed to reimburse Medicare 1.5 billion dollars over a period of years.

I haven't investigated that yet....nor, have I yet investigated any connections between Mitchell and the NY Trade unions or NY state government.
MH LLC seems to focus on building municipal projects in Vegas...so there may or may not be some obscured relationship responsible for winning civic building contracts in Nevada.

There must be monies which have been garnered by the fraud...funneled back to Unions? Government officials? Candidates?...to allow these fraudulent agencies to continue bilking insurance.
Their assurances did not appear to allay lawmakers. Sen. Diane J. Savino, D-Staten Island, called it a “huge concern” that Cuomo’s budget proposal included the wage hike without a corresponding funding increase for nonprofit health providers.
The Healthcare Association of New York State, a trade group whose members include hospitals and nursing homes, estimated that raising the wage to $15 per hour will cost the health industry $2.9 billion in higher annual direct and indirect costs. The group estimated that most of the costs – more than $1.7 billion – would affect home care providers.
In written testimony, Dennis P. Whalen, the group’s president, said that there would be “critical adverse effects on access to care” if Cuomo’s wage plan goes through without a funding increase to help providers cover the costs.
He added that most Medicare reimbursement rates are set by the federal government and that Medicaid managed care premiums do not cover labor costs for providers.
George Gresham, president of Local 1199, United Healthcare Workers East, Service Employees International Union, said his union is pressing to have this year’s budget directly pay for the costs associated with raising the minimum wage for health workers whose salaries are funded by the Medicaid insurance program. “It is important not to listen to fearmongering that seeks to inflate this cost,” he said, “and to bear in mind the savings that will come as the state no longer needs to subsidize assistance programs for people working full time but earning poverty wages.”
The state will distribute up to $65 million to health care employers to cover the minimum wage hike in fiscal year 2017, which started this month, and up to $198 million the following year, officials told health care industry representatives at a closed meeting, shortly after the new budget passed. The money, which will flow to providers in the form of higher Medicaid payments, will also trigger millions of dollars in matching funds from the federal government.

Harry Reid.
And I bet Trump knows something about the building too.
If that place was for sale at a bargain basement price, someone from his company probably looked into it.

Like ADFA (Arkansas Development Finance Authority) and the Clinton money laundering scandal back in their Arkansas days?
Not only is Hillary a lawyer but so is Bill and before he served as Governor of Arkansas he was the Attorney General of Arkansas.
For more than 35 years, I've been a "Hired Gun", successfully extracting and separating banks from some of their money. Well, I guess a better way of putting it would be that I've been employeed by some of the finest bank computer software and service providers for the past three and a half decades and have thus managed to eke out a reasonably comfortable existance for myself and family.

So....did Diane Savino work with Cuomo to squeeze out more money from Medicaid to offset healthcare employer costs due to Cuomo's minimum wage hike?

This is just one example of a myriad of ways the government bloats and then filters the money to their mafia-styled racket businesses.
But, the wage increase is *good for us.* Better for the wealthy criminals I suspect.
The Affordable Care Act was a critically important step toward the goal of universal health care, offering coverage to 20 million more Americans, and ensuring all Americans will never be denied coverage on account of a pre-existing condition or their gender. Today, 90 percent of all Americans have health insurance, the most in the history of our country.
Despite this progress, Hillary believes that we have more work to do to finish our long fight to provide universal, quality, affordable health care to everyone in America. This starts by strengthening, improving and building on the Affordable Care Act to cover more Americans.
First, Hillary will work with governors to expand Medicaid in every state, so that access to care no longer depends on where you live. It is a disgrace that 19 states have left 3 million Americans without health insurance because their states have refused to expand Medicaid. It is wrong that Republican governors and legislatures are leaving too many Americans without health insurance even though they qualify for coverage. Hillary will launch a national campaign to enroll people who are eligible but not already enrolled. She will expand access to affordable health care to families regardless of immigration status by allowing families to buy health insurance on the health Exchanges regardless of their immigration status.
