Just saw on JBJ Twitter that at their breakfast this morning it was announced this project is moving forward.  It will be a 10 story building and will be called Vista Brooklyn.

Late night phone call this weekend:

Shady assistant: "Sir, sorry to wake you, but we've done it. The Corner Bakery has folded."

Evil developer: "Excellent. Excellllllent. Pull the trigger.... and add three stories."

(Both men laugh maniacally)

So the new design will have to be reviewed, right?

Yes, they've already submitted the revisions to DIA and the vertical addition will need to go back through the formal review process. Will have the new site plan, etc up as soon as they make it available.

Is the basic architecture expected to be the same and it is just taller?

Good news! Vista will have some good views of the river.

Were they originally planning to go with wood like 220?  Seems like adding 3 stories the construction method would need to change.

Not sure if Florida has any special rules, but wood construction buildings have been popping up 10+ stories agreeing the world recently because wood is cheap and so are builders.... Hopefully they don't cheap out on this.

I'd be mighty impressed if they put a pool on the roof of a 10 story wood building ;D

I guess they aren't counting the Weaver Tower at Baptist? That one was completed in late 2012.
