The only projects that come in on schedule are jobs that have "liquidated damages" where the contractors are fined for not finishing by a specific date, typical for schools, stadiums, arena, etc.


Gold Cash Gold - Summer 2013 Opening?
Rubbed - October 2013 Opening?
Detroit Batch Brewing - Mid 2013? changed location of building half way thru the build out.
Also let us not forget the David Whitney was expected to open July of 2014
