I don't get the impression at all that PNC is going out of it's way to call their new building "not dominating". I definitely don't think that the size of the building has anything to do with nimbies as questioned in a previous post. PNC has set a firm budget of $400 million and is sticking to it, at least for now. I think PNC does realize that there is some disappointment by the casual observer that the current proposal is roughly 7 floors shorter than the the very first and very preliminary renderings released to the public in May. Some PNC exec was quoted as using that term and is just saying in a creative way that the building won't be super tall. If you have seen this term many times, it is likely the original quote and/or article being reprinted and requoted.
