The source, who I cannot name (way too important LOL), is usually spot on about stuff but seems to have got this one wrong.

I seriously doubt it. GSM sits on a particularly spendy piece of land. In my assessment, GSM exists only as a place holder, put there after the crash of 2007-2008 instead of the much larger project that they had planned, pretty much just to fill the space and create a small income on the property until the real project begins. At some point probably not in the too distant future, the whole thing will be torn down and some much larger development put up in it's place. Question is, will it take the rest of the 51 bar scene with it when it goes.

Do you happen to know what is happening with that white elephant up from Titanic on the other side of the road, or that vacant building along the river front where that crappy bakery used to be?
