I think they can deliver both, a few tall buildings as part of walkable TOD at an iconic location. Otherwise its a suburban town centre like Bridgewater.
The photo you show above is almost right. The towers are too close and should be more slender. Maybe just 2 slender towers on that block among the 6 floor buildings filling up the rest of the community.
