Goldfield Manse: Biggest Little Teardown In Texas?

Like many homeowners who built huge during the housing bubble, cellphone mogul Alan Goldfield is in a pickle–just a much bigger one than most people. Goldfield’s $65.5 million Champ d’Or mansion near Hickory Creek has been on the market for seven long years. (Estimated monthly mortgage payment a buyer might face for the 35,000-square-foot palace: $314,000!) Now there’s a chance this Lone Star Taj Mahal could be torn down for redevelopment. The May issue of D CEO mag has the whole bizarre story, written by Mark N. Vamos–formerly of Fast Company and Newsweek, currently the O’Neil Chair in Business Journalism at SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts.
