Rape dungeon.
He doesn't even use it or cares about its overly sexual inhabitants, it's there simply for aesthetical reasons.

1. install sex dungeon in a basement
2. install a special door that goes right down to the sex basement so you don't have to deal with it in your regular magic basements, put up some signs so people notice it
3. summon a few succubi/incubi, confine them to sex dungeon with magic circles (be sure to draw the circles first)
4. open new brothel of sins, let the demons run it however they like, you can forget about it now and just let them do their thing
5. go to the local lord, remove tower from registry as a research institution and register it as a "charitable brothel"
5.5. Some lords might try and send people to make sure your tower is a brothel and not just a big tower with a brothel in the basement. In this case, you can cast invisibility on the tower or bribe the succubi to show the mooks a good time (and let them go after). Either works.
6. land taxes go down, because who wants to be the noble known to his subjects as the guy who wanted to tax a cheap brothel more than wizard towers?
