It's Niagara, not Niagra. The template calls for CAPITAL letters in the city name, and building height.

[NYguy]

Not bad.

[Urbana]

Its a big time for Niagara. These are pretty sleek towers.

[Fatality]

Very cool and sleek :D

[DrNest]

Another great proposal for the Falls. I hope these get built.

Another great proposal for the Falls. I hope these get built.

They will get built because this proposal has been approved, but it will be at least 8 months before construction begins.

Approved, construction will start sometime after August.

[vegeta_skyline]

I'm guessing by the lack of any updates, constructions didn't actually start in August did it?

[thomax]

Not yet, but I've seen workers on the site. The old hotel still has to be demolished. August was never the official time to start, it was just the earliest that they thought they might be ready to start.
