DP today, Amaury Taittinger owner of the Leo Casino is considering plans to develop a plot of land he owns next to the Dolby Hotel. It seems he bought a 3 acre package of land 7 years ago and built the Leo, the plot in question is disused at the moment.
Mr. Taittinger said "We are in discussions with the planning department about a planning application sometime before Christmas. Wa are planning a joint venture or sale because I don't have much experience in property development. It will not be a tower, it will be about 8 floors. We are hoping that all the floors will have great views of the city and the waterfront. It is in a good position."
He goes on to say that Leo is very successful but is too small at the moment (is this a hint of something bigger to come??).
It sounds as though the planning mafia have already brow beaten him into their way of thinking small. Mr. Taittinger your plot of unused land is now worth a lot of money, it is not in a good position it is in a fantastic position!! allow me to make a suggestion to you, phone Beetham today!! get them on board with you as your joint venture partner.
