And I don't have any reason to think that it's not. Who knows? I imagine getting everything done that's needed before construction can start is just as hard as actually doing the construction. One can't just go to the local bank and get a $150M loan!

I am very glad to see a pretty good building going up on this site that has seemed cursed for many years.
A big part of the delay may have been due to PWD replacing at least a sewer line along the block of Moravian that cuts right through the site. That was ongoing for at least a couple months.
