Seeing those study models is saddening. And I think the square version at 832' is just fine.

The E elevation on this thing is not going to be pretty. The N edge of it staggers out and up as the S edge of the W elevation tapers out and up. It's going to look like it's swelling.

I don't understand Landmarks' rationale on this. They should have limited the height to the historical period of the block or not had a limit at all. Now we're stuck with a design that is trying to squeeze the maximum SF from the height, and it's going to look terribly awkward doing it (the prior design did so as well but had the breathing room to do it elegantly).
