What good are density bonuses when you're already building huge towers? Density bonuses allow for developers to enlarge projects in lower-scale neighborhoods in order to make a greater profit. In other words, if the developer is already building a 900' tower in order to fit both offices and residential, there's not much of an incentive to build higher due to sharply rising building costs at those heights - their profit margins will not increase by building taller, which takes away the appeal of density bonuses.
