Much better to step up to the FiDi via the 'zoning envelope' - otherwise you get a little Tour Montparnasse in the Seaport.

Uh, there's a 1,450 ft. tower planned a block to the south.
And Water Street is already lined with giant highrises. It would actually be noncontextual to not build a big tower. The NIMBYs fighting local development live in modern apartment towers just to the west, and don't want their views blocked. The historic district is like two blocks and already surrounded by modern towers.
