I think you're quite right that it took awhile before demolition began but I'm pretty sure it started earlier than August... but I really have no idea. Maybe I have a picture of actual demo before then but I'll have to check later (too tired right now - plus, does it really matter?). Anyways, either way I think demolition went at a decent pace considering the method utilized (ie not imploding). Hopefully it won't take too long for the underground parking to be taken apart. It would be nice to see actual construction early as possible.

I think it should be pretty high (if not topped out) by the time the Olympics roll around. It might make sense to take into consideration that the floor plate on this building is quite a bit smaller than the typical 'tall' building in the city. This might allow for a quicker construction time.
