I don't think this is necessarily true. A major theme of the Skye proposal has been affordability. If Skye were reduced to 27 storeys (the height of the original proposal) I am not convinced that they would be able to offer the same number of units, or that the units would not be more expensive. Offering 300 units @ $400,000 each is NOT the same as offering 600 units at $200,000 each. That the increased height would actually result in better affordability is by no means guaranteed, but it certainly, in theory, would support it.
