"skY LEASE"

What is known as the "sky lease"
in Cleveland, o., is one of the most
curious building space leases ever
drawn up. Some time ago a 'front.'
age Of $50 feet was leased for a term
of ninety-nine years, and the lessee
erected a six-story shop and Office
structure having foundations strong
enough to carry several additional
stories. After the building was COM
pleted the owner leased the air
space above the sixth floor, and the
support OF the walls and columns Of
the siX-story structure to the Cleve-
land Athletic club. The club then
added seven stories to the six-story
structure at a cost of more than
100000. The club pays a fixed an
nual rental for its "air space" along
with the entrance space for the lifts
and space in the basement. The
seven top stories are, Of course owned
by the athletic club, and at the ter
mination Of the lease, which will run
for about ninety years, the owner
Of the fee agrees to pay the appraised
value Of the improvements, or extend
the lease for another period Of years.
