You are correct. The model shown on the website depicts a tower with an attached garage. Instead they are doing the apartments over a garage. It makes sense being that this site is a little remote from the remainder of the West Village retail. In the Mondrian the retail is concentrated at the corner facing the main shopping area with retail along McKinney Ave.
I'm not sure were the previous poster is coming up with the stats for a 43 story tower and multiple 20 story towers. That sounds more like the grand proposal from the 1980's when Cityplace tower was built, its twin was to be on the other side of the freeway, and everything was built using pink granite. But looking at the models that Forest City has, those towers are in the highrise range (20-30) floors not the 43 stories stated. Which is more in line with the overlay that this area has been using as its development guideline.
