Unanimous decision by three-person development-permit board gives the green light to nine-storey, 111-unit condo building that had been previously rejected by the city in 2017

The project was previously rejected by the city in 2017 amid community concern about the tall building’s architectural disconnect with historic Chinatown and the lack of social housing, which has continued to motivate opposition. Proponents, on the other hand, believe the project will economically revitalize the area.
