Developer clears hurdle for more buildings at SouthSide Works complex

[mjcatl2]

The Soffer Organization wants to construct three condominium buildings with a height of 165 feet that currently are limited to 110 feet. The company also wants to build two 110-foot-high office buildings that now are limited to 75 feet... ....Soffer first proposed a height of 220 feet and scaled back the number of buildings from seven to five. The developer also changed its plans so that the condominiums would be built west of 27th Street, toward Downtown, and two proposed office buildings closer to the Hot Metal Bridge.

A hotel and conference center are also proposed for the riverfront development.

While it's too bad that this prime land's use isn't maximized, it appears that some decent condo towers will go up.
