I'm surprised Gary Barnett isn't being more ambitious and balling out more

In his eyes, he is being ambitious. You people only look at things in terms of height, developers don’t look at projects that way. Oppurtunities to build a large office tower (and the office tower is slightly larger) on prime 5th Avenue are extremely rare. It never happens, and he feels he’s put in the effort assembling this site, and wants to be rewarded. Can he build a tall residential tower/hotel? See 57th Street.
