I admit, it does look strange. That condo tower with the spire (360), has 44 floors. Only the Austonian to the right has more. Even the W Hotel & Residences has 36 floors, and it's 476 feet to the roof. You can see it in the rendering to the right of those towers (dark rectangular tower). But if you look, the main roofs of these new towers look to be about the same as the roof of the W, plus some kind of mechanical penthouse that looks to be about 90 to 100 feet tall. For comparison, the crown on Frost Bank Tower is 100 feet tall and the mechanical penthouse/crown on The Austonian is 61 feet tall.
