The lot size is 200' x 84.3', or 16,860sf, a little narrower than a half block. They're proposing a 239,000sf building and asking for an increase of 2.1 over the allowable FAR of 12. Since 239,000/16,860 = 14.175 FAR, that means they're proposing at least 15 stories, maybe 16 or 17 if there are any setbacks from the property line. That's about as tall as the the Eliot across the street, but still 10 stories less than the Benson a couple blocks away. Perfectly reasonable for that neighborhood.
