The special location of the hotel including an eclectic and sophisticated neighbourhood called for cautious planning while carrying out the construction. As a result of the area's busy traffic pattern, any operations of increased complexity such as repositioning larger equipment required a permit from the local building authority. Due to the project's special characteristics, cranes for transporting and repositioning equipment had to be used right on time, thereby complicating the job even more given the scarcity of space in the vicinity of the hotel.
