Thanks (not) to the Spanishtown neighborhood "activists" the "redesign" for the Capitol Lofts apartment project has 
been scaled back to 67 units in a
 four-story building. Remember, the original design was 115 units in a six-story building. Neighboring Capitol Park has multiple structures ranging from a minimum of 12 floors to the Capitol itself at 34 floors, of course the state is "exempt" from restrictions that may be imposed on size of buildings and opinions of the NIMBY's.



Although the developer agreed and downsized , this is still getting complaints from the "historians" that it remains "too big & bulky".
