From your post I cannot tell what the problem is.  If the building is owned by a corporation, the debt on one owner should not be relevant.  The question is whether you have bank approval or not.  And if not, why not.  I have handled many short sales.  It is not rocket science -- either you meet bank conditions or you do not.   There is something screwy.  Call me in the office at 212-721-5300.
