Something to remember with all the talk about taller buildings: Tall buildings require bigger foundations and more expensive support structures. That increases the expense of the project and usually makes projects impossible to finance.

A developer can seek funding for a 30 story building at a cost of $125 Million with a projected ROI of 20 years. Or he/she can reduce the height to 5 stories, not require a steel base or large foundation, reduce the cost to $15 million and have a projected ROI in 5 years. Easier to get funding for the second option.

That is why most of the buildings are staying 6 floors or less - my assumption anyway.
