Eh, if someone really really wanted to build a 20 story building, part of me thinks they might find a way to get to do it, code notwithstanding.  However, I understand the logic of trying to fill in space with more shorter buildings - one 20 story building surrounded by acres of nothing is not necessarily better than 3 8-story buildings that fit into the built environment better, and also spread those same people over a few blocks.

Downtown still has some "gap-tooth" areas that need filled in.  I'd love to see mid-rise buildings fill in these spaces.  But an iconic 20+ story tower would be nice too.

Unless GDJ wants to finance another highrise like the AC hotel, I would be very surprised if the market warranted something that tall at this point. Spartanburg's downtown is so large in geographic area, more small/midrise buildings will do more to help the city feel more connected/cohesive/vibrant without losing its small-city charm.
