The R.I. Supreme Court on June 23 cleared the way for the $300 million Fane tower project in Providence.
The proposed 46-floor luxury tower overseen by New York real estate developer Jason Fane was stalled by a legal challenge objecting to its height exceeding local zoning.
Fane and the city’s I-195 Redevelopment Commission had requested an amendment to the property’s zoning to allow a 600-feet maximum building height, exceeding the parcel’s current zoning regulations that cap building height at 100 feet.
The proposal was approved by the city but was challenged in court.
The Supreme Court struck down the challenge in supporting a previous Superior Court ruling in favor of the project.
Absolutely not. The RI Supreme Court should not have even been involved in this issue. Makes you wonder how many folks were bribed?
Right decision – build it build it!
