BOSTON-Developers of the Columbus Center project here between the Back Bay and the South End changed the project’s original proposal from a single, 20-story, 280-unit apartment building to 38-story and 31-story towers that will include a 200-room hotel, 100 condominiums and 330 apartments.

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.
