Holy Name isn't in Reilly's ward, so this really is all on him. If I were to guess, and of course I could be wrong, I would say wealthy donors who live in his ward persuaded him out of this, per blocked views, etc.
Also, those buildings are doomed. Reilly is still suggesting developing the land, just with something smaller/less dense. They are going to meet their end in the near future.
Last, I'm not trying to call you out or anything. Haha just similarly frustrated as to what someone else had mentioned above; how one person can just block something entirely.
