What is an alternative for "Considering the fact that"

Question

What is an alternative expression for "Considering the fact that"?

To understand the context, please consider the following sentence:

"Considering the fact that mixed-use buildings were new at the time, it seems appropriate that the builders came from different backgrounds and industries."

Richard Kayser · Accepted Answer

One alternative is to omit *the fact" and use considering that:

"Considering that mixed-use buildings were new at the time, it seems
  appropriate that the builders came from different backgrounds and
  industries."

Another alternative is given that:

"Given that mixed-use buildings were new at the time, it seems
  appropriate that the builders came from different backgrounds and
  industries."

Yet another alternative is in that:

"In that mixed-use buildings were new at the time, it seems
  appropriate that the builders came from different backgrounds and
  industries."
