What are Skyscrapers?
... Skyscrapers are a huge financial gamble for the developers, too. It takes about 3-4 years to put the financing together, acquire the land, get the approvals to design and develop the property, and then 4 to 6 years to build it. That represents anywhere from 7 to 10 years to go from start to finish. ...
