WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) _ An Atlanta-based company wants to build a
pyramid-shaped structure in North Dakota's oil patch that would
house 500 apartments, indoor parking for 1,200 vehicles, a mall and
an entertainment center.
New Cimarron City proposed by an investment group led by Camp
and Associates would be 371 feet tall and would wrest the title of
North Dakota's tallest building from the state Capitol.
Spokesman Gil Geiger says that developers are working to buy 80 acres of land about half an
hour east of Williston. He estimates the project would cost at
least $130 million, and hopes to break ground as soon as next
spring. He says it could take two years to build.
Williston architect John Biggs says he thinks the project is
nothing more than a fantasy.
