The company said it has already reduced the number of units by 68, and eliminated an entire floor from the north half the project, has already achieved a 1:1 parking ratio and made significant design revisions to better fit in with the neighborhood. In a statement Thursday, the Pizzuti Companies said it has "remained dedicated to developing a thoughtful and responsible project that meets the needs of the neighborhood in which we are building."
