Property-Love-Lesson #1 – Innovative Transportation Builds Property Values and Business! In the photo, Professor Real Estate® Suzanne Hollander is in front of a graffiti-art-heart at the top of a steep hill in Comuna 13, previously one of the most dangerous neighborhoods. Suzanne reached this summit riding a 6 minute, 384 meter escalator. The bright orange escalator, like the kind you see in a department store, was built into the hillside in 2011 and has 6 segments…its like going to the 6th floor of Macys! The unique, stylish, functional escalator opened access to this previously isolated hillside neighborhood, brings business to the area and is a piece of art itself.
