Ok smart a$$.
Mayflower Residence Hall, which was first built in 1968 and became housing for University of Iowa students in 1982,
I said probably. It housed students before they bought it. My point was they bought it. SIUYA

I was stunned at the asking price - it seems like it would be more desirable as a tear-down and develop than to try to convert it into… something.

Hey I get it. Just to be a good sport, I AM going to SIUMA.
The one year I was a student at Iowa (and then realized what a HUGE mistake I'd made), I lived in Mayflower. I chose it because of the shared kitchen/bathrooms, as only two dorms at the time offered kitchens at all. There were two living on one side of those rooms and two on the other, with the shared spaces in between. It was certainly not convenient to campus, although I did my fair share of walking when the weather was decent between Mayflower and the Union where I worked in the bookstore. I believe it was private apartments before UI purchased it for student housing, maybe in the early 90s (?). No idea what kind of renovations it required to make all suites set up the way they were. I can't imagine living in that building as an apartment, though - yuk. Was there for the 95-96 school year before I transferred to ISU.
I think the hospital system just bought the other hospital in Iowa City, so I doubt it.
Yes, longer than 25 years. it was already a dormitory when I was there in 1993

I’m sure there are private investing groups that would jump on this in a heartbeat. I know of one in DSM that has taken a project on like this before in downtown DSM.
