They're apparently looking for 8 million square feet, though. That is a HUGE amount of space. The twin towers of the World Trade Center had about that much.

Domain 11 is the largest building so far at the Domain, and it's still only 312,024 square feet according to this. They would need 26 Domain 11s to equal that number. You're talking about creating a skyline that would rival Forth Worth's before you considered raising the building heights to reduce the number of buildings and footprints/impervious coverage.
