5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self nominated at 08:48, 13 April 2013 (UTC).
Sufficient expansion, suitably referenced, free of copyvio (checked a couple of sources with Duplication Detector), QPQ done. Photo licence ok. The sources confirm the hook facts, but I simply can't believe that it's true. They apparently knocked this building down, then fluffed around trying to sort out an office building, changing their mind, building a 26 floor hotel instead and opened it, and all of that within 10 months? Come on, that just cannot be right. I accept that it does that that in the sources, but suggest that you come up with a different hook fact. Schwede66 10:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
