I also believe the city either does or soon will own the building
The documents finalizing the sale of the Watt & Shand property from the Penn Square Partners to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Lancaster have been completed and approved by both parties, but never filed; instead, they are being "held in escrow", whatever that means. Since the Penn Square Partners still hold legal title to the building, and demolition permits were already approved by Charlie Smithgall & Co., the PSP can proceed with tearing down the Watt & Shand building whenever they want to.
