If you were him would you take the near million dollars to sell this house to the big time developers?


Orlando Capote is REFUSING to sell his small Coral Gables home that is currently wedged between 2 GIANT buildings that is in the middle of construction zone for the largest commercial development in Coral Gables history.

His small family home was the only holdout from the developers who paid out the rest of the homes that are already bulldozed over as his home is now swallowed up by the 600 million commercial development despite countless offers to buy him out of up to 900,000 smackers!!

It's a real life Pixar movie situation as in the film "Up" where the main character stands pat when the city around him explodes into skyscrapers

He declined 60 offers in the last 6 years from developers, real estate agents, or house flippers to purchase the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1300 square foot home.

But even almost a million wasn't enough for him to budge because the house is priceless to him

His father bought the home in 1989 after immigrating from Cuba and worked double to buy the home as he said it holds extra sentimental value to him since his death in 2005

He said "This house is like a hard drive. As i look around n dlive in it and move through it, i relive a lot of memories. That i could not find in another house"

He wanted to honour his mother and father's wishes who were insistent that he not sell their "family treasure"

Capote tells CBS "The house is my soul. So what good is it to sell your soul for all the money in the world"

He accused the city of multiple violations and says his home is being swallowed up by the mega development as some of the debris is already falling down on his property

They denied the accusations but despite this he is not moving and says his parents memories keep him company and doesn't feel alone in this house

If you were him would you sell the house?
