Four months after the Bridgford Foods building in West Town was turned to dust, plans for its replacement have hit City Hall. Again.
The plan for 170 North Green Street has been tweaked before; most recently in 2017. The 2022 version is much taller, and better looking than what was presented back then. Much like your high school boyfriend.
The building’s height has gone from 210 feet to 470 feet. The number of apartments has been reduced from 314 to 275, but a hotel and office space have been added. Also, the new architect on this one is the Lamar Johnson Collaborative. Here’s the revised details of this revised project:
