The office tower would have to be taller than 350' with 665,000 sq.f proposed. If the 40 story count is a vague guide at this point in the planning process, then we can assume for now that it will change either increasing or decreasing floors once more details come out.
I'm not sure the entire half block will be used for the office tower anyways. From what I understand, is that they want to create a mixed use block which will also help bridge the gap between the E.6th and W.6th entertainment districts. Then there is the plaza to consider. It wouldn't be a bad idea to incorporate that as part of the entertainment portion.
Given that we already have some numbers on the office tower. 665,000sqf and 40 stories, then chances are that the office tower will only take 1/4 of the block. So depending on floor to ceiling ratio, a 40 story office tower should defiantly make an impact on the skyline from that location being taller than the One American Center and any of the other buildings in that part of the CBD maybe by up to 200'.
