Ware's Row building height increase at 500 15th Street West
Summary
A 7-story mixed-use building is now allowed on the 3.9-acre county-owned parcel at Manatee Avenue West and 15th Street West. The two extra stories come from the height incentive program, which waives the usual workforce-housing or LEED bonuses.

Impact analysis
No direct city cost, but the project skips the usual workforce-housing and LEED contributions that normally buy extra height.
The developer (AMRES Investments LLC) gains two additional stories without providing workforce housing or LEED certification.
Neighbors get a taller building without the workforce-housing benefit the standard bonus rules would normally require.
