So this is the final name? They aren't going to change it? Did anyone at the developer Google/Bing/DuckDuck it? Maybe I'm over thinking it?

Yes. I just find the name odd given the history of gaslighting.

By the time that play came out in 1938, the area would have been electrified already. The name comes from the 19th century us of gas lamps for street lighting..

Thanks for the photo. It feels like nothing has changed on this site for ages, until now!

These buildings sit right on the bedrock which is only barely below grade on this site. This means there is no slow underground work and we should see the structure start making a presence really soon.

As you can see, they were pouring concrete when I took the picture.

Was by a few days ago and snapped these photos. Crane installation is still at the same point. I dont know if they paused with the pandemic or not, certainly quicker progress than we were seeing before, but still moving at a slower pace

Slow and steady the definition on this one eh? Didn't sales commence early 2017? Wouldn't want my money to be tied up from then +2-3 years from now. Potentially 6 year dev. Yikes.
