It's no rumor, the man said it, lol.

“Either the Roosevelt Hotel will be renovated or it will be demolished to build a 100-storey building,” PIA Chairman Arshad Malik told the panel of the upper house, which met under the chairmanship of Senator Mushahidullah Khan.

There seems to be a lot of interest over there about the fate of this hotel. I think they've had this redevelopment plan, or an idea of it for years. The rezoning only solidified it. I think the way they handled the closing is the problem. It was just sprung on people using covid as a cover. And it's not like that was untrue either. Still, the idea that covid has forced the closing of the hotel, but suddenly there's this plan for a 100-story building, yeah, it didn't happen that quickly. There's been a plan on standby. Now, they still could just renovate the hotel for the short term. But it's a placeholder, either way you look at it.
