Which building? Come on… really?
Gotta be One Waterfront Towers at 415 & 4425 South Street, or the newly built 801 South Street.
Easily figured out. 801 South Street has over 42 floors. The thing is, the newspaper should have stated the name of the building, rather than leave it to the readers to find out, no matter how simple it is.
funny thing is one waterfront has 45 floors
@goodday, I see they updated their story to include the name of the building. But assuming you’re correct about the number of floors, they still got the floor numbers wrong.
A South Street 42 story condominium? How many condos on South St. are anywhere near that height? Is it really any harder to find out the name of the condo than to find out it’s a “42 story condo” on South Street? I just wonder what the logic is by not naming the building.
Luckily the fire was in a newer building with an automatic sprinkler system.
