"The Shard turns into the tallest white elephant in the world"
Apparently large buildings have lost their appeal.
Perhaps too expensive. Perhaps too "risky"...
Alex Hawkes has the story in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"Reaching more than a thousand feet into the air, The Shard was hailed as one of the wonders of the age when it was completed. Yet Britain’s tallest building is almost entirely empty, as its owners struggle to find buyers and tenants for its offices and luxury flats. As our picture shows, London’s 72-storey skyscraper is largely dark in the early evening, while the surrounding buildings are bright with office lights."
