"Final plans for a 37-story office building were submitted to the city Wednesday for what would be the tallest high-rise in Orange County. Developer Michael Harrah, president of Caribou Industries, is proposing building the 550,000-square-foot One Broad-way Plaza. The project would have to be voted on by the City Council, which could consider the matter in about six months. When the building was first proposed in May 1999, Harrah described it as 38 to 44 stories. He referred to the plan as a "rough draft." Revisions were made to accommodate historical buildings by relocating the planned parking garage."
