CWS Capital Properties Project Update
Project continues to receive skeptical reception

Attorney Richard Suttle continues to make concessions on the CWS Capital Properties project at 222 and 300 E. Riverside to gain the support of boards and commissions, and he continues to get a skeptical reception. The two, 200-foot tower project, the subject of Save Town Lake’s ire, would be the first variance to the Town Lake Waterfront Overlay, if granted. On Tuesday night, Suttle tried to sweeten the pot with additional land and amenities for the Town Lake Trail. Development plans have been configured to avoid breaking the 150-foot, overlay-required “primary setback,” in which development is not allowed. The project will go through a subcommittee hearing process before it makes it back to the full commission next month.
