Piling has already started and a $10 million tender for the basic superstructure was recently approved. The whole project is scheduled for completion in early 1966.
The lower ground floor of the building will be set aside for a large restaurant/night club, lock-up shops, plant room etc.
The ground to the second floor will be for shopping arcades and showrooms and offices will occupy the remaining 12 storeys.

Six escalators will serve the shop- ping arcades, eight passenger liftswill serve the upper office floors in addi- tion to a service lift.
