Flag Building

Common card · No. 384048

The Flag Building, formerly known as the Super Power Building, is the largest building in Clearwater, Florida, and is owned by the Church of Scientology. The building was built principally to deliver Scientology's Super Power Rundown, a special program intended to train someone to use all of their 57 "perceptics" (senses). Construction began in 1998 but halted in 2003. The city assessed daily fines to encourage progress and completion of the building, suspecting that the Church was deliberately delaying construction and using the incomplete project as a fundraising cash cow while diverting millions of dollars in donations to numerous other real estate purchases and construction projects around Clearwater. It is estimated that at least $145 million was raised by Church fundraising towards the project. The building finally opened on November 17, 2013.
