Just put pilings in and put 'em on that.

Apparently, they actually already did, and they're just saying that they'll have to increase the height if they want the building to remain viable.

The restaurant ultimately did not sustain damage in January because it sits on pilings that kept it above the water, on city-owned land. But because the flooding will worsen, the report recommended the city elevate, rebuild or abandon it, and consider converting the existing land area to tidal habitat.
