I would say that more than most properties zoned high density will end up high density.
The Broadway Plan allows a developer to rezone to higher density, but until a site is rezoned it can only be developed to the zoned density. While there will probably be speculative valuations that anticipate rezoning, it's not a given. And of course, plenty of projects have been built to existing zoning recently, which makes them unlikely to redevelop to higher densities, even if the plan allows it. For example, MingLian's 'Duet' is just starting construction at 3.3 FSR on the corner of Spruce.
