If there is such high demand for office space, then why are we not seeing an increase of larger building proposals?

I figured that we have finally reached the threshold for the next level of office construction but we can't seem to really move past these sorts of midrise offices on top of giant parking podiums.

There is more space left than one might realize. As I've mentioned before, there are plenty of spots with low slung buildings on them that can be redeveloped.
Also, last I looked, CodeNext expands the amount of zoning that is CBD. In particular, I recall significant expansion into much of the northwest part of downtown (north to 12th and west to Lamar...if I'm remembering correctly).
