Work on site is progressing well, and now that the building is fully weather tight, the finishing trades are steadily moving from the third floor down the building as bathrooms and kitchens are progressively fitted out.

The tower crane was taken down in June – exactly a year after the date of its erection. Ground workers are clearing the site and the hard landscaping has commenced.

The new sub station is finished and operational, the lift installation has been completed and alongside the other main mechanical and electrical works, will be commissioned in late August through to early September.
