I am not sure. Last I talked to the architects, they are still keeping the metal panel on the job. The reason that it is a curtain-wall/metal project is crane-time. Ghazi has a clause with Flaherty and Collins about restriction of tower crane use. Ghazi does not want any cranes flying over the retail complex after a certain date. I believe each day F&C violates that is $10K.
There are things they can do to "cheapen" the building on the exterior. Aluminum slab covers, rail design, pool deck materials, and curtainwall manufacturor are some possible VE items.
Over 60% of the units are sold so I don't see how they can cut any unit interior finishes (not that high end to begin with). BUT the common spaces can prob take a major tuning...
