Yep. The problem is that this property is in the Lincoln Square Special District, which has strict height and setback rules. I had no idea this was part of the Special District.

If it were just "normal" NYC zoning, we would probably get a supertall, given the location. This is one of the best development sites on the planet. Instead we get a banal building that won't even have park views.

But still, I expect an A+ building, given the location. They better use top-notch materials. These will be mega-pricey apartments, in the tens of millions.
