What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"The project consists of three 3 tower cranes and an assist crane to erect and remove the three 3 tower cranes. Refer to the enclosed supplemental drawing exhibit for the boundary limits of the cranes. The three 3 tower cranes will construct four 4 new construction permanent buildings.

Tower Crane 3 Height is 205feet AGL 254 feet AMSL. An assist crane is to be used to erect the tower cranes from 10 23 2026 to 11 13 2026 An assist crane is to be used to remove the tower cranes from 6 17 2027 to 7 29 2027. The height of the assist crane is 340 feet AGL 389 feet AMSL. The assist crane will be operated within the boundary limits defined for the tower cranes. During construction it will be necessary to utilize equipment below the heights of cranes such as drilling rigs concrete boom pumps construction hoists and cranes."
