New Rochelle loves the 20-something floor towers. Is there a height cap that leads to this or is it just the economics at work?

A sweeping downtown redevelopment plan was implemented in 2015 that allows tall towers in the very center of the downtown area (DO-1) but as you move away from the core (DO-2, DO-3, etc) the zoning only permits buildings with progressively lower floor counts. The maximum for DO-2, where all these 20-something floor towers are rising seems to be 28 floors.
In DO-1 developers can go 48 floors, which is what 11 Lawton is supposed to be.
