Tocci withdrew the application after local council member Steve Levin made it clear he would not back the project. The local community board and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams had already rejected the proposal.

However, this is a different type of project, with different backing. The most they could hope for is a reduced height, similar to what went down on the upper eastside. The problem with that is the site is so small that the height is necessary to get the full development built. And there are already enough multiple developments going on nearby and planned that their arguments against anything tall have no merit.
