Did you know, that...
1. The story of
"Royal Tower" residential complex
(building link: https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=107746) dates back to 2002, when it was originally proposed
as a two-section, 26-storied, 112m tall residential building.
The construciton was originally slated for completion in 2004, but the construction state remained on it's very early stages at least until ~2008.

In ~2007, the building was redesigned into
single-section, 25-storied, 95m tall (100m with spire) residential building that was called
"37D Saksaganski Street" (https://web.archive.org/web/20130406185844/http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=23314). Then, construction was briefly resumed in 2008 and then was halted after several months.
Construction was slated for completion in 2009.
The final redesign
was took place in 2012 as a 30-storied, 114m tall residential complex that we know as
"Royal Tower". Construction was finally completed
after four years after the final redesign, in 2016.
This photo shows all of three designs of this residential complex: the left one is a final design, the middle one is 2007 design, the right one is 2002 design.
2. We know, that construction of
the 3rd tower of "Silver Breeze" complex was halted in ~2010—2011. Meanwhile, in 2016, the status was set to
"built" and completion year was set to
2010. In 2017—2019, the building had
"under construction" status. And only in 2019, the status had been reverted to
"On hold".

3. Residential building at 59, Zvirynetska Street
(aka "Triumph" residential complex) was originally proposed with completely different design
(https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=8542). It's construction was originally slated for completion in 2003. The redesign was took place in ~2004—2005.
Construction was finally completed after three or four years after the redesign (in 2008). (https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=72933)
4. Residential building at 13, Staronavodnytska Street
(informally called "Wave") was
the FIRST EVER residential building in Ukraine to be added to SSP
(it was added back in late 2002, when it was under construction, the construction was completed several months later, in 2003).

5. Infamous, unfinished residential complex
"Dnipro Towers" originally had
"built" status and completion year of
2002. In late 2003, the status was set to
"under construction" with the projected completion year of
2004. Over time, projected completion year was changed to
2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010. And only in 2010, the status was finally set to "on hold", despite construction of this complex was halted much earlier, in ~2005—2006.
