Re: DVC Grand Cailfornia resort

Wow! It sure is taking a lot longer for the GCV to get built than it is taking to build the Kingdom Tower. I guess that is one of the advantages of building a tower. Or is it because more construction workers are available in Florida?

Welcome to micechat.

First the Kingdom tower start from gound up.
Kingdom tower start about two year ago.

first was take down the wing rooms.

DVC wing Grand Cailfornia is not a year old about 7 month in construction.
The parking is under ground and also there big Cailfornia building codes.
