Residential towers project on Alabama's Gulf coast officially called off - WHNT: "ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — Officials in Orange Beach say a long-troubled plan to replace a stretch of damaged beach houses and low-rise condos with Alabama's tallest residential towers has been called off.
The Mandolay Beach project was originally proposed during the area's post-Hurricane Ivan building boom as a pair of 36-story condo towers at the terminus of Ala. 161. It was later recast as a convention center and resort."
