I went into sales office at lunch and spoke with one of the guys there. He told me they have scrapped the top floor and will now only have 13 levels and be approx 49m. This is still above the height limit but they belive it will be enough to get approved. He said ACC should have the revised proposa...

Think about the process. Forget the qualities of the buildi...
