the holdouts were actually a tailor named Pieter Carstens and an innkeeper named Johannes Verburg. When the hotel was being built in the 1880s, the owners of houses No. 46 and 47 refused to sell, even when offered up to 46,000 guilders—a massive fortune at the time.The Result: The developers eventually lost patience and constructed the grand Victoria Hotel around the two houses. If you stand in front of the hotel today, you can still see the two original 17th-century facades "sunken" into the hotel’s much larger, more modern front.
Perhaps donating a 1 acre parcel of land to the Muscogee Creek Nation, which used to inhabit that area, to be part of their reservation territory.
Let's see the government kick the Creek Native American tribe off their ancestral lands and their newly acquired reservation property to build a Data Center.
It might not be worth the national headlines to build a data center there.
I don't think so, unless some major exoskeelton is built around the building to support the top floor-supported by new posts and beams. Those data centers are heavy. can't a\have that waving in the air.
Alshully, putting them in a basement is a better idea. But that is complicated in terms of land rights. Who owns the 'underground services' under the 'land'? Already the local authorities own the 'sewer' that lies underground. But what happens when it is an entire data centre?
There is history in AMsterdam of defying this sort of aggresive take-over: https://www.parkplazavictoriaamsterdam.com/our-history/

More recent example is the KIlldozer.

Think 'horizontal drilling' wars in the oil-game.
