That's pretty much what happened at Prospect and Lafayette--the original plan for 30+ stories was killed in part by fierce resistance from area residents. What we ended up with are two 20-story buildings. I love the Rivianna design and think it will bring great energy to the area. Taller towers might have provoked more neighborhood opposition.

What's the point of that? Why not two, taller towers with more space between them? Ah well. Still a good project. Nice one, though I think those three Riviana towers are terribly close together.
