It is noted some of the proposed or under construction buildings in the Brisbane CBD have been scaled back, gone into receivership or cancelled due to the Global Financial Crisis, Brisbane Floods and lack of finance and investment in Brisbane, this was especially highlighted as a giant Pit between Mary and Margaret streets where the failed Vision Tower construction was filled up with stagnant flooded water.[4][5][6]
