In 2007, the construction was scheduled to be finished in 2010 with an estimated cost of €241 million. In November 2008 as an endorsement to the original contract, the costs for the project were estimated at €450 million. In August 2012 the cost were re-estimated to be over €500 million, which should also cover the increased cost for a strengthened roof. The date of completion has been moved to the summer of 2015 at the earliest. The easternmost part of the building will be occupied by "Westin Hamburg" hotel scheduled to open in 2014. The upper floors west of the concert hall will accommodate apartments.
