The Owners in the Cosmopolitan building are in for another surprise.  That is if you live on the south side of the building and your unit is in the vicinity of the 21th or so floor.  The building going up to the south has asked  Seattle City planning for a modification to the building.

 The plans were modified after the purchase and sale agreements were signed by the buyer and many had no notification of this proposal.

The original building was suppose to be  a 14 story high office building which reaches about the 20th or 21st floor with components on the roof.  With the new proposal it might reach about the 21st or 22nd floor.
