Developer still keen on failed Crystal Palace deal

摘要

The Chinese developer behind failed plans to rebuild London's historic Crystal Palace has insisted it is still interested in the project, writes Elizabeth Hopkirk. ZhongRong blamed a failure to agree details of ownership and leasehold for the site in Crystal Palace Park for Bromley council's decision to terminate an exclusivity agreement. The £500m project, which involved a design competition featuring Zaha Hadid and David Chipperfield, fell apart last week.
