With 4 towers it means 625-750 units per building based on that 2500-3000 estimate, TEK tower only has 532 units and it's 45 floors so the only way this would feasible to hit 625 to 750 units a building is if these are 50+ floors each or giant monolithic slabs. I don't know about all the bonusing rules when it comes to affordable housing but part of me really doubts something that high would go on this site, so I feel as if a decrease in unit count might be coming from what was first reported.
Maybe these were some of the buildings that the city planner was alluding to for being 40+ floors in height?
At least in its original iteration, the footprint of the towers was MASSIVE. They could have fit 1300 easily. I can see them easily fitting at least 2000, so long as the units weren't too large so that each floor is able to maximize the number of them. However I am sure the buildings are going to be redesigned. It would be very unusual for a new developer to buy a property and then take the architectural plans of the previous developer/architecture firm and reuse them.
