Wow, that's just shy of CWB, making Pearl 8th tallest. Only 4m more and it would be as tall as Commerce!

Imagine if texting was developed first....then the phone was developed!! Wholly wow we can actually hear a voice and sense emotion and tone lol.
I've always thought this as well.
I saw a stand-up comic doing a bit on this very thing a while back.

I dont know about that. My bet is these guys want to get sales started prior to any condo tower that is associated with the arena. I guess the big question is how are sales going with the ultima?

Last I heard 75% firm sold or there abouts... maybe a bit higher.

I agree they would want to beat arena related development out of the gate.
