Not looking for any type of controversial, or negative thread, as don't want this closed. Since Las Olas will probably remain a hot topic for quite some time. Only want to document the start of construction time frame so that people will have a reference point should the need arise.
As of November 19, 2014 and I quote directly from the Las Olas website.
"Home construction commencing in six months."
