Do any of the planners and architects who hang around here have a general idea of how long it takes a building to go from conception to planning approval to completion? (yes, I realize that results may vary). If Shopify were to say, "We need more space" tomorrow, when could it conceivably be available?
Depends on the size. A small office could be designed and completed within a year or so if it's nothing fancy. Something large - let's say a 30 floor building - would take much, much longer.
