A federal suit has been filed over a planned high-rise residential project, accusing officials of giving it fast-track approval without meeting rules. The project, which includes an 848-unit, twin tower development, is located at a site known to be contaminated by industrial activities. Residents contend that the site's environmental concerns were not adequately addressed.

The proposal includes a 22-story tower and an 18-story tower. The city's planning department granted expedited approval, which is allowed under a state law encouraging urban housing projects.

Further details about the suit and the project are available, including the allegations made by residents and the city's response to the environmental concerns.
