So, this is what Gale Brewer said regarding the proposed South Street Seaport tower

That’s why we oppose the tower in its proposed site, and it’s also why we’ve proposed an alternative site—the former Pier 14, located at the foot of Maiden Lane. This site is just below the Seaport area and is a more contextually appropriate location for a 494-foot tower, since it’s already surrounded by high-rise buildings. Along with making this suggestion, we’ve stated many times our hope that the Howard Hughes Corporation and the New York City Economic Development Corporation will genuinely and actively work with us to identify other alternative sites for any such tower.

Just to clarify, pier 14 is just across the street from 80 South st. So, it seems her plan was to convince the HHC guys to build just one tower here though I doubt she was expecting a 1000 ft+building. And let's not forget 151 Maiden Lane which, if built, would be right next to 80 South.
