Appeal dismissed. This is now officially considered approved. Hopefully construction can begin soon.

Interestingly, this seems to no longer be associated with CIC:
"The City adopted the OPA and passed the ZBA on September 12, 2018. At that time, and at the time of Plaza’s application for these instruments, the proposal was for a lodging house use to be operated as a 1,024-bed, 514-unit student residence for the College. The College has since withdrawn from the project and Plaza intends to proceed with the project as a mixed-use residential development with an operator to be identified. Plaza requires no changes to the approved OPA and ZBA to proceed with its plan."
