Construction commenced on site in September 2008 with a completion date of August/September 2010. It was eventually completed in October 2013.

The project is now completed and is currently occupied and in use with minor defects being currently corrected. The total project cost is estimated at $120 million, including for FF&E, Multi-Media/Audio-Visual Installation and Design Consulting
