The city of Sacramento's Planning Commission on Thursday approved a 25-story condo project at the southwest corner of 11th and J streets.

Although the city has yet to approve one architectural element of the building -- a spire -- the approval means that developers St. Anton Investors LLC and the Cordano family could proceed if there are no appeals with a 10-day period.

The 250-foot tall, 233-condo project is called Cathedral Square, and would require knocking down existing commercial buildings on J Street. It will have 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

The spire proposed for the top of the building exceeds the city's Capitol Views Protection Ordinance and is due to be reviewed by the city's design commission this month.
