GREENWICH — Developers looking to build housing at a corporate campus in the north end of Greenwich have scaled back the number of units and the size of the proposed buildings after planning officials said they were worried about the project’s density.

The development group associated with the Tishman Speyer corporation now calls for 198 units at the Greenwich American Center off upper King Street, down from an earlier proposal for 248 units. 

In addition, according to Thomas Heagney, the attorney representing the proposal, the developers are eliminating 12-unit structures and four-unit structures from the plan. The proposal now calls for “single-family attached townhomes in two- and three-unit buildings,” he stated in a submission filed with the town planning department earlier this month. The removal of the larger structures will also scale back the “floor area ratio” at the site, or the measurement of the buildings’ floor area in relation to the size of the 154-acre parcel.
