Hmm...well, so much for the rumour reported in an earlier post that money is drying up (I've also heard the same). Maybe the government will finish it and turn around and sell it for a small profit. I've also heard that the new tower on Bay is overly ambitious -that there wouldn't be enough offices/workers to consolidate (I find that hard to believe though). But in light of the current financial situation it wouldn't make sense to go ahead witih both projects at the same time.
 
hmm... this is interesting, escalators in an office building ~

So Much Hype, So Little Progress...whats up with this project.:confused:
 
I am not quite sure what the basis is for the statement "so little progress". Looks like it is being retrofitted to me.
 
Lookin good! And as always, your photography makes it look even better :D
