To which GGTT Realty Director and CLI Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Jose Franco Soberano affirms in his opening speech at the groundbreaking ceremony saying “aside from being able to support and blend in with the character of the area, this will really liven up the area — hopefully the first of many to really transform this beautiful downtown area.”
