Hochul decreased the overall density, slightly. In theory, that could reduce the height of the towers. But for buildings that don’t even have a developer, and are a decade away from being built ( long after Hochul is gone ), there’s no way of saying she cut the height.

While it does say "Lowering building heights" at the top of the news excerpt that Hudson posted, I agree that it's probably too early to know anything in that regard. Question is, why did they lower heights of buildings that don't exist yet or even have a height figure?
If I understand correctly, it's not like there's a limit to the building heights that has been lowered, which I guess is good.

They already limited the heights of the buildings in Hochul's review, don't expect several 1200 footers here. They made it a point that they decreased the allowed height and density of the buildings versus Cuomo's vision.

I would be happy with 2-3 1,200 footers especially if one went way higher.
There probably aren't too many lots left in Manhattan to build something so grandiose in terms of height, I really hope this opportunity isn't totally blown.
