WI: Antoni Gaudi's Hotel Attraction actually built

What if the Hotel Attraction, designed by famed architect Antoni Gaudi, was actually built on the site it was almost commissioned for in 1908? What kind of engineering challenges would its builders have faced? Would a POD before 1900 be required?

From what I've read it would have been extremely difficult technically and probably prohibitively expensive to build in 1908.

One of the hardest things is that only a few sketches were ever done and little planning was made on actual structure. I doubt any financier would agree to build something of that size without fairly detailed structural plans. Considering the speed Gaudi worked at I don't think construction would begin for another decade unless he was removed as head of the project.
