BROWNSVILLE, Texas AP – Touted as the Texas Gulf Coast’s most luxurious tower and later ridiculed as the “leaning tower of Padre Island,” an incomplete 31-story condominium project on South Padre Island will be demolished, its developer announced Monday.
The Ocean Tower, a 151-unit luxury project slated for a spa and other amenities, started construction in 2006, but stopped last summer when it became obvious the tower was sinking more rapidly than attached parking garages, causing cracks in beams and columns.
