Whenever I see commercial construction news on high-profile stalled hospitality construction projects, like the Shangri-la Hotel and Waterview Tower in downtown Chicago, I always wonder if the construction site was not only safe and secure before it was shut down, but if it was preserved in a way so that the existing developer or a new owner could start it up again quickly once the construction loan or funding comes through.
