Building Site

The building site next to our apartment has been building for years - you see 5 or 6 people coming to work 8am sharp to do the work.  Including Saturday (the estate agent lied to us saying they don't work on Saturday).  The strange thing is in this super property bubble Hong Kong, this lot is in the prime location but has been in construction for years!?!?  We suspect the land owner might be using the loss over years due to delay in deliveries to write off the capital gain.
