Reservoirs are restricted in where they can be built, because water. And that real estate is in high demand for many other uses. I think it's a safe assumption that, in general, coastal properties (including those on lakes and rivers) are more than twice as valuable as inland property on average.

Reservoirs could probably be built underground. I could also see one of these block stackers existing in the sublevels of a big skyscraper. Cost and and difficulty of access for maintenance might make either thing impractical, though.
