Is it on track?

Running delayed

The planned end date of Jun 2026 has passed, with the building 80% built.

1 of Urban's 1 active project with a date is past its planned end, on DLD's latest dates.
At the pace of the last two inspections, work would finish around Feb 2027. Pace changes, so treat that as a rough guide.
