Could a Tall-ish Building be Coming to Court Street

There's growing concern on Court Street, where the former International Longshormen's Association Building property at 340 Court Street is said to be in contract. No one has yet confirmed the sale, but the site can support a 13-story building under current zoning. The building, which is between Sackett and Union Streets, is owned by Long Island College Hospital and was recently put on the market. Local residents are pushing for a rezoning that would prevent such "as-of-right" developments that are not in scale with the current neighborhood.

while 13 stories are possible here, the buildable area is still likited to the F.A.R. under R6 zoning. what's the advantage of going up when you have to build narrower?
