Planning And Zoning Approves 40-Story Building Near St. Anthony Falls

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Minneapolis Planning and Zoning Committee has approved a 40-story condo planned for the Mississippi riverfront, according to the Star Tribune.

The paper reported Thursday's vote overturns an earlier rejection by the Heritage Preservation Commission.

Minneapolis developer Alatus plans to build the tower in the St. Anthony Falls Historic District, and the heritage commission did not like how tall it was going to be.

The city council will reportedly take up the proposal for the condo a week from Friday. It is planned to be built at 200 Central Avenue Southeast.

If approved, they could start building in the fall.
