A holdout is a piece of property that did not become part of a larger real estate development because the owner either refused to sell or wanted too much. There are many examples of hold-outs in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Japan, and other countries.〔http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/home/the-real-estate-deals-where-money-could-not-buy-happiness/story-fnet0iz7-1227600764106?sv=2a07a86de699c37d1cdb7dee9da45042&〕 == Examples == Macy's department store in New York City, for example, does not cover the whole block because of a holdout named the Million Dollar Corner on the corner of Broadway and W 34th Street. Wearing a Macy's shopping bag, the building is a holdout from the construction of Macy's Herald Square, and received its name from the fact that it sold for a million dollars in 1911, an unprecedented sum at the time. Similarly, the GE Building (formerly known as the RCA building) at 30 Rockefeller center, also in New York, has slight setbacks at its corners of 49th and 50th streets on 6th Avenue due to two buildings at those corners. The owner of 1258 6th Avenue, John F. Maxwell, grandson of the original owner, outright refused to sell to John D. Rockefeller during his land grab for construction of the complex, whereas, while Rockefeller was successful in purchasing the townhouse at 1240 6th Avenue, the lessees, who had signed a long-term lease, refused to vacate unless they were bought out to their asking sum of $250 million. In Whitechapel, in the East End of London, the construction of the department store Wickhams, completed in 1927, on the north side of the Mile End Road was obstructed by the Spiegelhalter brothers who owned and ran a jewellers at no. 81. The store building was completed around the jewellers shop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.unfinishedbuildings.org/wickhams.html )〕 The construction of new runway capacity at Narita International Airport in Japan starting in the 1990s was met with significant local protest; in one example, families had refused to move even as the original and subsequent runway construction projects began around.〔 – see (google translation )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holdout (real estate)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
