Criticism
The project has received criticism from the public because of its numerous construction delays and billing agreements. Harmon Inc. filed a lawsuit saying it is owed $120,000 by Alex S. Palmer, the project's developer, and general contractor Bovis Lend Lease. Construction has been suspended for about a year as the developer deals with the credit crunch and is awaiting an anchor tenant for the office portion of the project.[1]
