The estimated cost is $75 million instead of the original $60 million, he said.

“We will have a concrete parking deck and we will do nearly 50,000 square feet of commercial space.”

The buildings will be U-shaped with plazas and swimming pools on the third floors in each building with a bridge connecting the two plazas.

“Sensitive to the neighborhood, we came up with a more modern design instead of traditional,” Salomonsky said.

The revised plans have won the approval the Scott’s Addition Boulevard Association.

Association President Roger L. Bouchard, in a letter to the city, said the developer has been responsive to concerns expressed by the community.

The re-engineered plans reflect the decreased height of the buildings, elimination of parking along West Clay Street, provision of green space for public use, the introduction of commercial space along West Clay Street and the alignment of the buildings’ aesthetics with the character of the neighborhood, Bouchard wrote in the letter.
