The site is so small, if they are going to build the 4 msf, the towers would have to be above 700 ft.

Personally, I think that it was always short sighted not to max out the sq ft on a tower in NYC when, in the very long term it will be rented out.
Most developers in NY not only max out on the allowable sq ft, but some even go above with special provisions from the City.

I can't imagine why they would want to squeeze two residential towers on the site, totaling about .7 msf of the entire development. But with this tower (below) already starting just to the west, we could see more residential sooner rather than later...
