This building may come under the BFP zoning which is something like this:
within 200 or 150' of the center line of the BFP buildings can be no taller than 200 or 150' high.
The Bell Atlantic/Verizon building is pushed up against the southern edge of its lot so it can rise up to about 800 ft. The angled wall of One Logan SQ(right behind the 4 Seasons Hotel) is parallel with the 200/150 ft from the center line of the BFP.
But yes the Family Court is a disappointment. Look at what was done for the original Family Court at Logan Sq. A Beaux Arts building based on a building on the Place du Le Concord by Gabriel an architect for King Louie XV. But I would rather have a Kimpton Hotel in the old building than a Family Court.
