Here’s a Google Maps visualization of the route and distance that the house traveled
Real estate broker and investor Tim Brown bought the house for $2.6 million back in 2013. For a while now, it was in his plans to move the building to its new location.
Now that it’s in place, Brown has ideas to transform the house into seven residential units. As for the place it has left behind—there are plans for it to become the location of a new 48-unit apartment building.
While commenters were wondering how much outrage this must have caused—wasting money on having to adapt the streets and causing somewhat of a traffic jam for those actually commuting—others actually found this a positive move as it allows for smarter land development and the money boosts the economy.
