The limit is 3-4 storeys, depending on the height of the storeys. I'm sure Huether would predate this limit, but it basically means that you have to keep to 3 storeys if you want higher floor heights, or 4 storeys for shorter floor heights.
Yes, Princess Condominiums proves you can build in UpTown. But it's also a rarity. It works in large part because it hides behind the tallest part of the street frontage, because it's the highest point above the water table. Propose five storeys that could somehow fit on the back half of a shorter lot that can't accommodate underground parking and would sit behind a 2-storey building, and see how far it gets.
