After years of delays and redesigns, the long-awaited Glass Tower will finally break ground at 11th and Grand in South Park during the early part of 2008. We contacted developer Amir Kalantari of Kalantari Group who confirmed the project is nearly ready to move forward.
The most recent reports suggested Kalantari had set his sights on an early January kick-off, but he now says, “Our ground breaking schedule has been pushed back beyond January 2008. The slight delay will be used to study the secondary financing market and finalize our firm’s financing decisions for the project. The scope of the project remains the same.”
Another reliable, but separate, source close to the project confirms this information.
The sleek 23-story tower designed by De Stefano + Partners will contain 128 luxury condominiums and 5,600 square-feet of ground-level retail. The development will replace a surface parking lot on the northeast corner of 11th and Grand in the South Park district, catty-corner to the new South Group towers.
