1 year++ to complete so many blocks is a challenging for them to deliver 'quality' product.
Good luck then.
The developer has started construction in late 2013, currently completing the 5th/6th floor (underground car parks + retail lots). If you're a vivid investor, the crucial part in a high-rise development is to ensure that its foundation & ground works are solid. What more, we are talking about a 29 storey service apartment development. Based on the pictures updated in this forum time-to-time, we could see that the foundation is built based a solid plan. When a foundation is solid, the progress moving upwards will only be much simpler and quicker. COG has taken 12 months to reach 5/6th floor which is a norm.
A good example of having underground car park levels are Four Seasons next to KLCC, they have taken 2.5 years just to complete the initial 7-8th floors. Now the moving upwards progress is the sweet part.
As such, COG, aiming to complete this project over the next 22 months (by 2016) may be achievable.
Quality wise, I do not agree with you making such harsh statement that it may not be a "quality" development without giving a chance to look at the progress yourself over the next 22 months. Based on the brochure's specifications, the building materials used in the service apartments are very well adequately "move-in" materials with minimal renovations required. So, I reserve my judgement on the "Quality" issue, until the construction progresses further.
