But the developer added: 鈥淪entiment remains to progress the scheme.鈥�
In an update issued to 黑洞社区 earlier today, the firm said: 鈥淭he business plan for the scheme has always included a pre-let element so the status has not changed. We remain fully committed to the central London office market and to our current portfolio.鈥�
