AoD, I'm pretty sure it says they recommend approval for this.
 
Yes, it appears like they are recommending approval.

And the base will have limestone or granite: its a decent building for this location and I look forward to it going up.
 
Looks like it shrunk by a floor to below Canuck's 400 ft. mark.
 
Indeed it does. Although with all things being equal a 392 foot building looks just as impressive in the skyline as a 400 foot building, I do need to have an arbitrary cut-off point somewhere.
 
^better not or else , in two years, the cutoff will be 50 feet
 
I've mentioned before that 100m seems like a good arbitrary point to me, but that would require an enormous amount of work to add in all of that to the list. Can't Canuck get some kind of government funding for that so he can take it on as a full-time job? If not, what's the use of our socialist commie-pinko system anyway?

Now let's mosey down to Balmuto, and the Cruptal Blown construction site, where a race is on between Crystal Blu and the Uptown to see who can shuffle around the jobsite the most without actually building anything.

The Uptown, for its part, has amassed some serious-looking equipment and has aquired for itself a middling pile of dirt.


Whereas Crystal Blu has... a backhoe. Evidently, it just dispensed with the sales centre. Notice the fence at the edge of the picture? That's the dividing line between the sites. Crystal Blu's footprint is insanely small.


But what's this? Crystal Blu has an ace up their sleeve!


Will the Uptown secretly built an ersatz zeppelin mast inside its ersatz art deco upper reaches? Will they build anything at all? The two sites taken together:
 
Unless they're shrinking the floor heights throughout the building to squeeze in some more floors.
 
It's possible, but the extra ceiling height was part of what made CB different from Updown next door...so it would be pretty underhanded to change that now. Not that it hasn't happend before.
 
Unless they're shrinking the floor heights throughout the building to squeeze in some more floors.

This has been suggested before on this board. I don't see how the developer can do that without going back to every purchaser who expects (for example) 9' or 10' ceilings in principal areas and then amending their Purchase and Sale agreement by perhaps offering the buyer compensation of some type. If there is no clause for ceiling heights within the P&S Agreement I presume the developer could reduce the unit's height but a savvy buyer and/or good Real Estate lawyer would catch that upon purchasing the unit and have it written into the P&S Agreement as an amendment if it doesn't exist.
