It can take a very long time but if they waited until full approvals were in place then they would lose millions in interest alone, so developers stage things. Some even start selling the units before the building is approved conditional on an approval being obtained. It's all about moving as...

To be clear, what is happening on this site is snail pace compared to the original schedule. Any developer in a rush and having made promises to deliver an 80+ story building by end of 2018 would be doing a lot more on this site by now. By the way that deadline is now impossible to achieve...
