If i was advising Solidere on this issue, i would have probably told them to destroy 2 of them and restore one in a way to incorporate it to the final project. But still, it's a long shot, because the lot is probably worth a lot of money. |
It all goes down to the priorities ...
I understand the value of the land etc etc, the problem is classification, i dont think making the downtown similar to american cities/Golf cities is a good idea. Making the water front high rises, instead of making it look like the mediteranean cities (Nice, Cannes ... ) is a huuge mistake !!
But i would love to see some legal docs concerning all the buildings and lands on Solidere, how everything was evaluated ..
How about these 3 buildings in question ? Sure you evaluated them .. but legal docs? age ? etc
