At least they caught it before it was fully constructed, but it still cost almost as much to tear it down as it did to build!
- djmips 8y agoIn your wiki link it says the tear down was expected to cost $11.5 million which must be much lower than construction costs. (quick search says $275 million to build) In general it only makes sense that demolition is much cheaper than construction.
