Opening Soon™ (Since 2011)

Anime-style cartoon in a dark brick bar: a cream caped figure with an airport-building head, labeled The New Airport, says 'Any day now. No big party, though.' A sign reads Opening Soon, since 2011, and a notice reads Defects found: 20,000+.

An airport that kept its 'opening soon' sign long enough for it to become a landmark.

Details
More than 20,000 defects in the fire detection and emergency lighting alone. When it finally opened, management skipped the party, presumably because nobody trusted the smoke alarms. Based on: BER opened in 2020 after repeated delays. Over 20,000 defects were found in the fire detection and emergency lighting systems. (The Federal Government of Germany, 2020-10-30).
