“but before construction began” /// That is in conflict with the title of the article.

It appears the legal challenge came before construction began. The decision came after construction was complete. No conflict.

This ruling, however, ignores the BSA’s discretion to decide that a new view of the law should be enforced only prospectively, “grandfathering” in those who had made commitments based on the old understanding.

Well they pretty much have to grandfather them in, or is the judge planning on ordering the 28 other buildings to also be demolished?
