Yes, really. There's plenty of open space built in the first phase, just across the street. It may be surprising to some, but these 3 towers (including podium) would be built with a FAR of 11. That's because there is plenty of open space. That was the tradeoff for the large towers. It doesn't have the typical density of Manhattan, which is another reason why some people think it doesn't feel like New York.
