Developers Fail in Bid to Heighten 12-Story, $30-Mil Condo Project

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-The city commission rejects a compromise proposal to lower the building height on a 34,000-sf development site on the Intracoastal Waterway, 26 miles north of Miami.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-Developers of a proposed $30-million, waterfront condominium project hit a wall last week when city commissioners rejected a compromise offer to reduce the building’s height. Fort Lauderdale is 26 miles north of Downtown Miami.

In a 4-1 vote, commissioners denied the application for a development of significant impact that Christian D. Wissing and Vicenzo Esposito filed last November with the city’s Construction Services Bureau.

Notwithstanding the option of a legal challenge, the development team now must re-apply through a new application–if they want to pursue plans to build a 43-unit luxury condo building on a 34,000-sf development site at 715-725 Bayshore Dr. It is uncertain what action the development team expects to take, since its lawyer did not respond to a request from GlobeSt.com for additional information.
