Arecibo Observatory Collapsed
Large portions of the towers fell. Large portions of the dish are destroyed. And if you're going to effectively build over again, you might as well build a bigger one.

Topography is a major determinant of the size.

Of course. And that is part of my point: Arecibo may not be the most sensible thing to rebuild if it's not salvageable
and
larger antennas exist.
