"Gearing up" is a highly complex operation. At some point it has to involve hiring a contractor, arranging for steel and concrete (which are both in short supply these days), a crane (also in short supply), getting permits and so on. It clearly takes months--or even a year or so. Sometimes, though, they go ahead with demolition and site prep before the other things are ready--that was all I was hoping I might see signs of today.

I am also hoping for a new rendering to appear somewhere--on Turnberry's web site or that of one of their architects--but so far I can't find any.
