Institutional level money backing out is not good news. Based on that article, I highly doubt that this tower is ever more than that rendering unfortunately. If it is, I can guarantee they won't achieve rents to make the construction costs pencil. Just my two cents.
That's what I thought as well. But maybe that investment firm is just going to let them hang themselves and be able to get a half built tower for pennies on the dollar compared to what they were in for originally.
