To sum up...
- full planning permission was granted in 2003
- tenants have since been gained for the hotel and office space
- a new consortium of Qatari banks are funding its development
- the consortium said recently they intend to begin work immediately
- the site was finally vacated last summer, and demolition began last December. This was halted for a while, as financial issues were resolved, but following the new consortium's announcement it has begun again. The site will be cleared around June/July.
- Mace are agreeing to a fixed-price construction contract
