Fort Lauderdale's Stranahan House loses key appeal
Still riding high after a favorable court ruling two weeks ago, Stranahan House advocates were knocked back to earth Wednesday when the same appeals court torpedoed a key part of their case against a proposed condo tower next door.
The 4th District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach ruled Wednesday that there had been no "miscarriage of justice" in Broward Circuit Court when Judge Robert Lance Andrews rejected two Stranahan House challenges to the proposed Icon high-rise.
The ruling moved the city, the Stranahan House and the hopeful developers of Icon one step closer to resolving a construction conflict that's spanned nine years.
