Delivery record
Promised at launch
Q4 2026
Current target
Q2 2027
This launch promise was recorded before we began storing the source alongside it, so we cannot yet name the announcement it was read from. The date itself is held write-once and has not moved.
Construction, as verified by AQARCHECKNot measured
We have not taken a construction reading for this project yet. We publish progress only where we have verified the reading ourselves and can name its source, so none is shown rather than estimated from the developer's own material.

The same 42 points on every project, whatever its type or stage. We hold 26 of them here. The rest say so rather than disappearing — a record with gaps you can see is worth more than one that hides them.
