That was just something thrown in to make it sound good. If towers 2 and 3 won't obstruct the Freedom Tower, this one certainly wouldn't, even at the full 85 floor height. I think they are more likely looking to the larger apartments they could get buy "adding" more bulk (building closer to the street).

The zoning variance would allow Fisher Brothers to reduce the required setback of the building — the space between the edge of the property and the street — from 20 feet to about 10 to 13 feet, allowing them to make a wider building.
