If United Gulf wanted to modify the Twisted Sisters to better meet the demands of today's market, that would have been very easy to do within the current rules. Instead, they chose a route that involves a much, much longer waiting time, through the half-conceived Skye Towers. Upon the unlikely chance Skye is approved, the markets will have again shifted -- and there's still no telling whether
this approval will be good enough for the developer to finally put a shovel into the ground.
It's almost as though United Gulf doesn't want to build anything here.
