Not likely. I would say there's a little more room to stand for this one in that regard, but even then I wouldn't count on a height chop. Both are city developments, and they aren't going to cut the number of units being proposed simply because some people object to height.
The site in both locations being constrained as they are, there is no room for that. It's the City of Yes now, and every neighborhood is going to have to carry some of the "burden" of larger structures, at least so says the mayor.

New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) on behalf of the City of New York (the “City”) is pleased to release a request for proposals (“RFP”) seeking proposals from qualified parties for the construction of a mixed-income housing development with ground floor retail space pursuant to a long-term ground lease or sale of an approximately 10,000 square foot parcel of land at the corner of Little West 12th Street and 10th Avenue in Manhattan’s vibrant Meatpacking District (the “Site”).
Respondents must submit a proposal for a ground lease but, at their discretion, may submit an additional proposal for the fee simple acquisition of the Site. The Site currently covers two abutting areas described as follows: 1) a portion of Block 644, Lot 1, which is owned by the City and is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Small Business Services and 2) a portion of 10th Avenue currently under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Transportation and it is anticipated that it shall be deemed surplus and then transferred to the City and de-mapped.
The redevelopment of this Site aligns with Executive Order 43, a key part of Mayor Adams's “Get Stuff Built” plan, a three-pronged framework to address the housing supply crisis with a goal of building 500,000 homes over the next decade. The RFP is being released in connection with such initiative and underscores NYCEDC’s and the City’s commitment to expanding affordable housing options throughout all five boroughs.
NYCEDC plans to select a developer for the Site based on factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to, financial feasibility, responsiveness to the project goals stated in the RFP, the respondent’s qualifications and experience, as applicable.
