High-rise condos in Alabama? You bet - right on the Gulf of Mexico.  Developer Brett/Robinson received a $2.5 million benefits package from the city of Orange Beach, AL in 2004 to build Phoenix West I, a 29-story, 1.1-million-square-foot, 295-unit luxury condominium community on Romar Beach.  The development cost of the tower itself was $140 million.  The developer has repaid the city all but $450,000 of the money...more.
