There is nothing gray about construction of hundreds of millions worth of drilling caissons. They've been doing extremely complex and expensive work down there, people forget that there used to be an utter behemoth of a building on the site with the old foundation left under it all.
Oh and BTW it's been revealed that Dan Gilbert is worth 30+ billion f*cking dollars and just made a billion+ more the other day, making him one of the top 40 richest people on earth. This is about as solid of a project you could get in a Midwest city from any developer.
