Developer Arthur Winn and his partner, Roger Cassim, presented these plans to a neighborhood panel appointed by the mayor as the start of a campaign by the developers to win approval for the development. The air rights project was already approved a few years ago but a new process for approving air rights projects in which the Boston Redevelopment Authority plays a key part, has since been implemented. Opponents to the project are already objecting to the height of the towers, which reportedly was originally supposed to be 40 stories.

The developers did not return calls by presstime, but they reportedly stated that the height of the towers is crucial to be able to pay for the buildings, which will be located right near the Massachusetts Turnpike. They added that they need to be clear on what they can build on the property in order to begin financing the project.
