Yes, although that 1,800' figure was never official. It was advertised in the early stages of development to have that potential. Many here (incl. me) expected a tower between 1,300 and 1,500 feet since we are talking about a) Tishman b) Hudson Yards [no Nimbys] and c) 3 million sq ft. Should have been at least some 100 feet taller than 30 HY. Instead it's a "supertall filler" and the ~1,300 foot tall 30 HY tower is now the signature tower of HY. Tbh a real signature tower needs to be taller, way taller.
