buildings don't get built because they are unique, huge, or
"look really cool from dozens of miles away". they get built to make money.
my guess is that related does not believe that they can get a positive ROI on this particular piece of property by building a 2+ billion dollar calatrava* mega tower.
they're probably right.
(*) calatrava projects are notorious for going WAY over budget. another strike.
