Broadway SA Investors GP LLCThe 263-unit upscale apartment plans near the Pearl received final approval after returning the Historic and Design Review Board on Wednesday, November 3. The project was presented to the HDRC in December 2020 where it was approved via consent schedule approval.
He returned because the developers had questions about the Commissioners stipulation requesting windows that felt more authentic to the structures in the Pearl region. Cory Edwards, assistant manager of historic preservation, told the meeting that the commission felt the proposed windows appeared to have been made with fake materials and “flat in appearance”.
However, the plans have since been approved without the window stipulation.
